Rocks on the Beaten Path

from The Travels of Janus by Firefay & Alison O'Donnell

/

lyrics

Clawing a path up the mountainside
Hairpin bends and steep incline
Nowhere to shelter or hide
Boulder after boulder in a line

I did not commit the sins of Sisyphus
Who rolls a boulder for all eternity
His misdeeds utterly treasonous
Whereas mine were far too small to see

Push that prickly gorse out of the way
I know I will reach my goal in the end
It might take many nights and many days
To the crown of the peak I will ascend

Snow covers all the mountain top
But a sign of life wriggles at my feet
Breathtaking views just never stop
They make my weary heart skip a beat
