Down the Years I Travelled... - Allan Taylor, Christoph-Mathias Mueller, Göttinger Symphonie Orchester

Down the years I travelled, all the roads I saw

Life was changed forever from all that went before

A young man on his journey, I was one of the favoured few

Driving into the distance, coming into the new

I was coming into the new

Every city, town and highway became a home to me

To walk the streets and byways was where I had to be

And some chance conversation in any downtown bar

Became another travelling song played on my guitar

I played on my guitar

The memories are with me still, but the days are passed and gone

I’m looking to the road ahead with a new day coming on

Maybe there are songs to come, maybe some will fall behind

I will leave them by the roadside for someone else to find

For someone else to find

Now the roads have come together and led me to this place

Some have gone forever and some have left a trace

It’s coming 'round full circle to where it all began

I’ve got my songs and my guitar, and it’s time to travel on

It’s time to travel on
