Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And every choice I make becomes the choice I should
The road I didn't take disappears without a trace
Every comfort I forsake draws a line into my face
Every moment we leave everything that we have ever known
Quiet highways empty skies it's a journey that we're taking all alone
What we remember is the weight we carry on our backs
What we remember are the lessons that keep us on the beaten path

In the river that will run
Til my days and nights are done
You'll keep washing away

I'm on my way to the clearing at the end of the path
Don't know if it's near or far but I know that I'll not be coming back
It gets so hard to see the sunlight through the trees
Be it dawn or noon or dusk I've got miles to go before I sleep

In the river that will run
Til my days and nights are done
You'll keep washing away

We went down to the river to set your body free
My mother and my sisters and Steve Kate Zoe and me
We took a path through the woods that reached the banks of the Missisquoi
Birds and breeze the elegies as we're learning not to wonder why

In the river that will run
Til my days and nights are done
You'll keep washing away
In the river that will run
Til my days and nights are done
You'll keep washing away
You'll keep washing away
You'll keep washing away
