The Journey Lyrics


[Incomprehensible]That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
And have me wonderin' all my days
That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
Have me wonderin' all my days
I can't stay home, I gotta keep movin'
I gotta keep doin', I gotta get out
I gotta roam, it's somethin' that moves me
It's somethin' that uses me without a doubt
'Cause somewhere abstract coincidence happens
See someone in passin' while out and about
Next thing I know I'm happily travelin'
Puttin' in action ideas that I mouth
'Cause I speak it and do it, talk it and walk it
I'm so bad about it, I shout it out loud

But try to stay open, the forces in motion
They keep me on course, it's just clear that I've found
Imprisoned in flesh and reality's blesses
That made manifest every woman and child
I'll keep on expressin' reality's lessons
Explorin' my prison until I'm let out
That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
And have me wonderin' all my days
That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
Have me wonderin' all my days
Travelin' east and west
On every known highway
South to north carryin' that torch
Until I'm old and gray
Well in the mean time in between
I'm pushin' through this
I said in the main time in between
I'm on my duty
Sometimes I get beat up, sometimes I'm the beater
Sometimes man my feet hurt from walkin' so long
Sometimes I'm defeated, sometimes I get cheated
Sometimes I just need it, 'cause sometimes I'm wrong
So the question's repeated, why even try
When there's rocks in the road, potholes in the lawn
The victory's sweeter when obstacles either
Are side stepped or crushed on the way to the door
So I go on my own, have faith in the road
I can share that control 'cause I'm never alone
I hear the creator speak to me through whispers
On winds the voices of friends and of foes
I listen to omens, the things that he shows me
Shows that he knows me and helps me along
And follow him closely, where he goes mostly
Guidin' my path on this map till I'm gone
That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
And have me wonderin' all my days
That journey a call me quick
That journey a call my name
That journey a have its way
Have me wonderin' all my days
And when they lay me down
To rest in my earthly grave
And when they lay me down
Navigate that big sky wave
But in the meantime, I got my duty
In the meantime in between time, I got to do this
In the meantime in between time, I'm pushin' through this
In the meantime in between time, I got my duty
I got my, I got my, I got my duty, I got my duty I know
[Incomprehensible]

Born in the early 1940s and brought up in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robin became a mainstay of the psychedelic folk combo The Incredible String Band in the late 60s and early 70s. He moved to California and formed the Merry Band in the 70s, following more Celtic roots directions in his music. By this time, he had already contributed to over a dozen albums, toured widely and written fiddle and penny whistle tutors. By the 80s, Robin was concentrating on harp music. The Incredible String Band still seems to be an on-going project, even if not full time.
