05. The Havens Grey

The Far Country
by Andrew Peterson



 

There is no road to bear me from my sorrow
No healing that is deeper than this hurt
My heart is gone away across the water
To the bright, undying shores beyond the world

When I sail from havens grey
Caught up on the wind and blown away
I will close my eyes on the Shadowlands
And bid goodbye to all my friends
The parting is the price, it is the price that I must pay
To sail beyond the arms of the havens grey

And even though you know your heart is breaking
For a little longer still you must be whole
To love the life that’s given for the taking
And to give the love the living’s given for
And let it lead you to those shores

When you sail from havens grey
Caught up on the wind and blown away
Close your eyes on the Shadowlands
And bid goodbye to all your friends
And sail from havens grey
Caught up on the wind and blown away
You’ll bid goodbye to all your friends
And close your eyes on the shadowlands
I know you will open them again in the endless day
Of a love that dawns beyond the havens grey

So follow the road through the rain
Down from the door where it began
Out of the rain, into the sun
Follow it on and on and on

Keep to the road through the rainIs there a there and back again?
Out of the rain, into the sun
Follow it on and on and on
Follow it on and on and on
Follow it on and on and on and on

The parting is the price, it is the price that I must pay
To harbor far beyond the havens grey
