Brian Hartt - Devil, Stay Away Lyrics

As I look back on the path that I took along my past
I can see the steps I made and where they led me
But the wind will carry on, and I'll sing your funeral song
To the promised land my soul will flee
I want to go somewhere, where the grass is green and the weather's fair
And the devil, he won't follow me
Devil, stay away
Devil, keep at bay
I've traveled long and far
I have followed the the north star
To resting place she promised me
I carry weight upon my back, lay my burden down at last
Along the banks of the riverside I've traveled on
I long to take you by the hand, take you to hear that righteous band
In the clouds they sing, let's carry on
I want to go somewhere, where the grass is green and the weather's fair
And the devil, he won't follow me
Devil, stay away
Devil, keep at bay
I've traveled long and far
I have followed the the north star
To resting place she promised me
Oh dear, one day I'll meet you there, to the promised land I swear
And on that day, I'll hold you without a care
And the devil, will be lost along the road
The devil, will long and gone for sure
