Connie Dover I Am Going To The West Lyrics

I Am Going To The West Lyrics

In this fair land i'll stay no more
here labor is in vain
I'll seek the
mountains far away 
andleave the fertile plain

Where waves of grass
and oceans roam
into infinity
I stand ready by the shore
to cross the
inland sea.

I am going to the west 
you say you will not go me
you
turn your eyes away 
you say you will not follow me 
no matter what I
say
I am going to the west 
I am going to the west

I will jorney
to the place 
that was shaped by heaven's hand
I will build for me a bow

where angel's footprints mark the land
where castle rocks and towers
high 
kneel to valleys wide and green
all my thoughts are turned to
you
my waking hope, my sleeping dream

I am going to the west 
you
say you will not go me
you turn your eyes away 
you say you will not
follow me 
no matter what I say
I am going to the west 
I am going to
the west

And when sun gives way to moon 
and silver starlight fills
the sky 
in the arms of these last hills 
is where I'm bound to
lie

wind my blanket earth my bed
my canopy a tree '
willows by the
riverside 
will whisper me to sleep

I am going to the west 
you say
you will not go me
you turn your eyes away 
you say you will not follow me

no matter what I say
I am going to the west 
I am going to the
west
I am going to the west

I am going to the west
