The Journey ft. Norman Paterson Lyrics

We feared the journey to the north country

In search of a missing soul

He'd been gone for thirteen long months

Disappeared one night

when bad weather came down

Over mountain and loch and stream and glen

Never to be seen again

Have you seen my brother, my father my friend

Did he walk this way by the stream

Did he fall, did he faint, did he lose his way

Will we ever see him again

He pitched his tent in the teeth of a storm

He hunkered down for a while

Needing to rest and regain his strength

But no one knows how he came to forsake

The shelter that kept him safe and dry

Never to be seen again

Did curiosity get the better of him

Was he keen to explore his surrounds

Not a sight not a trace of where he'd been

He's vanished off the face of this earth

One more missing person to find

Never to be found again

Have you seen my brother, my father my friend

Did he walk this way by the stream

Did he fall, did he faint, did he lose his way

Will we ever see him again

So we look for him and call his name

It echoes through the wild glen

And compassionate souls join us to search

Beneath the surface and way over the hills

They search for many a long day in vain

Yet he's never seen again

Rest peacefully beneath the stars

In a place you loved so well

And we will always know you are here

Near mountain and Loch and stream and glen

Where you walked a free spirit for so many years

Forever you are in our hearts and minds

Where we can picture you again
