Stories from the Exile - Beneath the trees at Fintry

All my life I have wandered
in search of a home
and the restless, hungry feeling,
ah, it’ll never leave me alone.
So I ask you, come with me,
and to go where I go.
Let me dream as you dream.
And I can’t promise you much,
maybe the wind and the rain,
but I can love.
Sometimes I can love.
O and have mercy
if you are gentle,
if you are kind
on this poor stumbling fool.

And all your life you have wandered
in search of a home,
and the restless, lonely feeling,
ah, it’ll never leave you alone.
I’d like to say that I’m with you
ah wherever you may go,
wherever you may be
through the wind and the rain,
through your tears and your pain
there will be my love.
There will be my love.
O and have mercy
on yourself
for you are gentle,
for you are kind.
Doesn’t God walk with the stumbling hearted?

Carry on,
though your dreams are broken.
Carry on,
though your stars are all fallen down.
Carry on.

Maybe losing for love is all we can do.
Maybe that’s the key for me and you
to carry on.
