The road twists up through Cabot
And the mill towns of Vermont
Around me, spruce and hemlock
In these mountains I call home
I close my eyes; I am alone
Out on Bayley-Hazen Road
I come up here to clear my head
And listen to the ghosts
That echo from the graves of men
Whose lives are marked with stone
I taste the earth that I behold
Out on Bayley-Hazen Road
The path I see before me is overgrown
I try to find the strength to carry on
But I know I'm running out of road
The days are growing shorter
As the sun begins to set
60 miles to Montreal's
Too far for this old man
I close my eyes:
I am home
Out on Bayley-Hazen Road
Out on Bayley-Hazen Road
