Lyrics
Two worn hearts walk where the green vines curve
With a compass of doubt at the edge of the world
They had names for the beasts and a map made of rain
But the paths kept bending back through the same
There were golden-eyed hunters with a velvet disguise
Selling bright little promises, sharpening lies
Some wanted their treasure, some wanted control
Some carried their hunger like a hole in the soul
They hacked through the bramble, they weighted the brown
They crossed every river that tried to pull them down
A snake on a branch made the whole canopy sway
Still one took a step when the other lost
Keep walking, keep walking
Though the road disappears
Keep walking, keep walking
Through the weight of the years
When the last drop is gone and the night closes in
Somewhere beyond all the wildness begin
Keep walking, keep walking
'Til the distance comes clear
There's a heart in the green making its way here
The canteens grew lighter, their bread turned to crumbs
The drum of the thunder said, here nothing comes
Then across a white clearing, through curtains of rain
One face caught the light and called out a name
They moved past the thorns and the roots in the ground
Past a bridge made of branches that groaned with each sound
Each step found a danger, each breath found a cost
But the farther they traveled, the less they were lost
Keep walking, keep walking
Though the road disappears
Keep walking, keep walking
Through the weight of the years
When the last drop is gone and the night closes in
Somewhere beyond all the wildness begin
Keep walking, keep walking
'Til the distance comes clear
There's a heart in the green making its way here
Then suddenly face to face, no trumpet, no sign
Just two trembling hands finding fingers in time
The jungle fell quiet, the branches withdrew
And rows of silver birds waited under blue
keep walking, keep walking
Now the wide world is near
Keep walking, keep walking
There's no need to fear
The gate opens softly, the bright engines climb
Two lost souls found a lifetime in one changing sky
Keep walking, keep walking
With your hand holding mine
The wild road behind us, the future in
turned gently like pages in spring
There were keys by the doorway and coats on a ring
Two cups by the window, two chairs in the sun
A thousand small mercies and most of them one
The jungle grew distant, a tale softened by time
A river, a lion, a branch, and a climb
No need for a promise, no need to explain
They smiled as they reached for each other again
Life kept on marching, love kept its tune
Morning came easy and stayed through the
