For the Love of Alison Lyrics & Tabs by The Band from Rockall
For the Love of Alison
guitar chords lyrics
A man he loves a woman
They marry and they raise a child
That's the way the whole world over
But there's too much life involved
Now looking out the window
At the skies that keep closing in
And deep down in their heart they know
The void will never fill
Photographs and memories
That never fade as time moves on
And he becomes the hunter
And questions burn like the sun
And for the pilgrim
The road is always long and sore
But for the love of the father
And for the pilgrim
The road is always long and sore
But for the love of the father
You walk it all and so much more
There's a road that reaches India
And it pulled her to the roof of the world
Through the temples of the East she walked
A bright eyed Christian girl
There the light that shone around her
It vanished in the morning air
Where destiny and purpose
Together walk their dark and hidden ways
Now the autumn leaves are falling
From the trees and from the rest of our years
And all of us are searching
For a light that's disappeared
We take refuge in our weakness
Unable to confront the fear
That keeps a pilgrim still believing
Swimming upstream in a river of his tears
And the leaving takes you home
There you dare belief to stand alone
Where you laid her name down in stone
For the love of Alison
And the hills are crowned in snow
You face the place of winter till the thaw
And through that darkness we all must walk
For the love of Alison
For the love of Alison
Is this the cross we have to bear
Is this the love we have to share
