The hour is ending, can't you see   There is no way now, to get free   In the shadow of the season   Without a reason, to carry home   Without a reason, without a reason      And from the north woods   Down on the valley   In a world of hurting, I'm moving on   Out from the lighthouse   Out on the ocean   Can't climb the mountain, so very tall      Said Lord please give me what I need   He said there's pain and misery   Oh sweet oblivion feels alright   The hour is drawing ever closer   And rolling over, won't let me be   In the shadow of the season   To find a reason, to carry home      Said Lord please give me what I need   He said there's pain and misery   Oh sweet oblivion      She calls me onward to her side   And feels her song deep inside   And find a reason   In the shadow, of the season   To find a reason to carry home   In the shadow, of the season   To find a reason to carry home   Find a reason, to carry home   To carry home, to find a reason   To carry home, to carry home
