about

Part of this song is about examining where you are by measuring it against where you've come from. Its also about feeling comfortable where you are and having a feeling that you know where you are headed, at least in a general sense. The last part of the song is about the feeling I get when I'm in nature and the feeling of insignificance within the grandeur of it but also the comforting feeling of being with something larger and just myself. I'm not really alone.

lyrics

I have wandered long and lonely.
Where it is that I should go.
And all it is that I keep finding
Is an ever winding road.

Over hill and through the trees.
A darken road with covered leaves.
A shrine among the evergreens
There it is she waits for me.

Off the side and through the trees
A darken road with covered leaves.
I know where the dark road leads.

I feel the wind upon my face.
I hear the wind whisper my fate.
Recall a dream that draws me back.
Stirs a memory within.
To a time before I knew her name
The road I'm on is just the same.

I hear the crow call my name
Wishing I could sleep again.
A dreadful fear deep within
Maybe I'll find my way home.

Off the side and through the trees
A darken road with covered leaves.
I know where the dark road leads.
