Lyrics

  1. All alone, poor rolling stone
    Seems that you can’t find your way
    North, East or West, one place is best
    Get on the right track today

Chorus
At the end of the lane there is joy once again
When you’re tired of life’s weary trials
There’s a bluebird for you and if you only knew
Down the right road there’s sunshine and smiles
In the arms you love best
You will find Peace and Rest
Say goodbye to your sorrows and pain
When you find what it’s worth
You’ll find Heaven on Earth
When you come to the end of the lane

  1. Every night there is a light
    Welcoming some loved one home
    At evening prayer, some mother there
    Prays for her boy in the gloam
