Lyrics

I was an old man with a merciful soul
When the hills called me homeward to meet them
My pockets were bare, I had nothing to spare
But a song made of gold to entreat them
The road has been long
And I know I've done wrong
Please weigh your pity against me
I never did think from the top of the hill
That the bottom would come for me quickly
In trying to fly so foolish was I
The sky was not there to receive me
The road has been long
And I know I've done wrong
Please weigh my triumphs against me
I've lived a hard life of trouble and strife
With the wine and the women both empty
I searched for a friend but the truest I found
Was the fiend on my shoulder to tempt me
The road has been long
And I know I've done wrong
Please weigh my sorrow against me
Here I stand still, agape at the height
Of the hills breaching heaven before me
I turn my worn face away from the light
No my lord, I am not worthy
No my lord, I am not worthy
No my lord, I am not worthy
No my lord, I am not worthy
