The hour is ending, can't you see There is no way now, to get free In the shadow of the season Without a reason, to carry home Without a reason, without a reason And from the north woods Down on the valley In a world of hurting, I'm moving on Out from the lighthouse Out on the ocean Can't climb the mountain, so very tall Said Lord please give me what I need He said there's pain and misery Oh sweet oblivion feels alright The hour is drawing ever closer And rolling over, won't let me be In the shadow of the season To find a reason, to carry home Said Lord please give me what I need He said there's pain and misery Oh sweet oblivion She calls me onward to her side And feels her song deep inside And find a reason In the shadow, of the season To find a reason to carry home In the shadow, of the season To find a reason to carry home Find a reason, to carry home To carry home, to find a reason To carry home, to carry home
