May the Road Rise to Meet You

Summertime the sun would shine we'd lay across the field
 Sheltered in the shadow of a tree
 We'd write our poems to take along
 And sing out on the road
 And you would always sing this song to me
 May the road rise to meet you
 May the wind be at your back
 May the sun shine warm upon your land
 May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again
 May God hold you in the palm of his hand
 Autumn leaves would change our tree
 To colors on the ground
 Swirling patterns beautiful to see
 I'd lay my head down on your lap
 I wouldn't make a sound
 And you would always sing this song to me
 Though the winter days our tree would shiver in the wind
 Waiting for the warming touch of spring
 I'd hold you in the firelight
 We'd stare into the flames
 And this is what you always used to sing
