Road Goes Ever On Lyrics


(Lyrics by J.R.R Tolkien)

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the road has gone,

And I must follow it, if I can

Pursuing it with weary feet,

Until it joins some larger way,

Where many paths and errands meet.

And wither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on

Out from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

Let others follow it who can!

But I at last with weary feet

Will turn towards the lighted inn,

My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
