Lyrics

Is the road uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end Will the journey take the whole long day? From morn to night my friend And will there be a resting place? A roof when the night begins Will the darkness hide it from my face? No you cannot miss that inn Will I meet other travelers there? Those who have come before Will they hear me knocking? They won't leave you standing at that door Will I find comfort, sore and weak? Of work you shall find the sum Are there beds for me and all who seek? Yes, beds for all who come But it's uphill all the way And the journey's gonna take all day And is there room at the table there? All may come to dine Perhaps a glass to ease our cares? Good strong ale and wine And will they take me as I am? None get turned away And is there mercy for the damned? Forgiven is yesterday But it's uphill all the way And the journey's gonna take all day Is the road uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end Will the journey take the whole long day? From morn to night my friend And will there be a resting place? A roof when the night begins Will the darkness hide it from my face? No you cannot miss that inn
