The Fairest Way lyrics

The fairest way for any man to have his own

Is forty years of undisturbed work

And while the rest are buried under stone

When do you want to go off on our own?

Rolling towns of pastures green and mountainsides

Reflected light off winding streams that run for miles

I wanted to try my hand but I am old

And now it's too late, we'll never get to go

Finding the path to be taken

Was forced by a desperate ruler

Who gave mostly hardships and earfuls

But thought himself generous and fair

Lay me beside the mountain

Whose shelter incites the moon

But who dares disturb those that rest nearby

The mountain?
