Summer time the sun would shine    We'd lay acrossed the field      Sheltered in the shadow of a tree    We'd write our poems to take along   And sing out on the road   And this is what you always used to sing          May the road rise to meet you   May the wind be at your back   May the sun shine down warm upon your land    May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again May god hold you in the palm of his hand      Autumn leaves would change our trees to colors on the ground   Swirling patterns beautiful to see    I'd lay my head down on your lap    I would not make a sound    And you would always sing this song to me       May the road rise up to meet you    May the wind be at your back    May the sun shine down warm upon your land    May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again May got hold you in the palm of his hand      Through the winter days our tree would shiver in the wind   Waiting for the warming touch of spring   I hold you in the firelight   We'd stare into the flame   And this is what you always used to sing      May the road rise to meet you   May the wind be at your back   May the sun shine down warm upon your land   May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again   May god hold you in the palm of his hand (x2)      May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again   May god hold you in the palm of his hand
