The Road to Derry
Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
©2019 Cole/Potter Music

we don’t know … where we go
or the why of when we die
but in the end I hope my friend
we will meet again

The sky is blue … but in fact
out in space the sky is black
hand in hand
we’ll make a stand 
on the road to Derry

As I strode the muddy road
a passerby caught my eye 
she winked at me I wish desperately
we will meet again

funny how just by chance 
changes come with a glance
fate is such a fickle dance
we will meet again

the road is long … the hills are steep
strangers smile…  lovers weep
consul is for dreams to keep
on the road to Derry

A timid man becoming bold
the moral starts getting old 
when the story is twice told
as we will meet again

Fate sings such a silly song 
Harmonize when things go wrong
but Hey!  we knew that all along
cuz … we will meet again

time is short and life is sweet 
love is free so smiles are cheap
travel cures dusty feet 
on the road to Derry.
