By My Side

Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Can you take me with you?
For my hand is cold, and needs warmth.
Where are you going?

Far beyond where the horizon lies
where the horizon lies
and the land sinks into mellow blueness.
Oh, please take me with you!
Let me skip the road with you.
I can dare myself.
I can dare myself.
I'll put a pebble in my shoe, and watch me walk.
I can walk and walk!

I shall call the pebble Dare
We will talk together about walking
Dare shall be carried, and when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe singing, "Meet your new road!"

Then I'll take your hand
finally glad that you are here
by my side.
