I Never Go Anywhere Alone

I know cause you taught me so
all those many years ago
that life is uncertain
it's only flesh and bone
and I will fear no bows and arrows
outrun them till I'm home, yeah
cause I never go anywhere alone

and the last time that I saw you
I saw what they had done to you
you were lying there all broken up
you were on your way
don't fear the raging waters
swim them till you're home, yeah
cause you'll never go anywhere alone

and like an old country song
where the words just won't leave you alone
about going where you're needed most
about the green grass of home
and she'll be waiting there
like a heron flying in the air
with the wind blowing through her hair
waving you on

and I know cause you taught me so
all those many years ago
that life is a battle that no one ever wins
but I will fear no tumbling mountains
I'll duck them till I'm home, yeah
I'll never go anywhere alone
no I'll never go, I'll never go
anywhere, anywhere
alone
