Lyrics
Down the mountain road in the evening gold Every curve a story I've been told Stone wall, pine tree, a bell in the dell I know this road and I know it well Last lamp before home Burning small and true Last lamp before home It's been waiting there for you I thank the road, I thank the night For leading me back to the light Years ago I climbed this hill Young and restless, never still Now I'm coming down slow Grateful for the way I go Last lamp before home Burning small and true Last lamp before home It's been waiting there for you I thank the road, I thank the night For leading me back to the light Kitchen window, a kettle on Someone saved me a chair till dawn All I wanted was this A warm hand and a kiss Last lamp before home Burning small and true Last lamp before home It's been waiting there for you I thank the road, I thank the night For leading me back to the light Last lamp before home Thank you, thank you Home
