Would You Go

Jane Siberry


there's a hole in the roof where the rain comes in
would you go? 

or say it is a long and dusty road
and your feet are bare and your throat is parched
and you don't know where to go
and a man stepped forward and said "would you go?"
would you go? 

or it was a foreign land
and the oars were dropped 
and a voice said "will you walk?"
and you saw nothing
would you go? 

oh my sweet sweet darling 
it's been a long long way down
and it's been a long long long long time
oh but I have found you
and I cannot stand here and watch you go 

or say it was a long and winding path 
and your feet are bare
and the road is rocky and you don't know where...
and you want water 

there's a hole in the roof where the rain comes in
