There's a path off of the main road
for a mile it twists and bends
Up through the woods, up to the hilltop 
Above the ruckus and the din 
There sits a castle on the hilltop 
Pointing upward towards the sky 
And candles burn in every window
For every pilgrim passing by

Here at Lanes end, where you'll find me
Where I'm happy, I feel free 
Sanctuary, from the journey 
It's the only place I long to be

I chose longing not belonging 
I've lived to take the angels dare
Those city lights could never claim me
Or ever hope to hold me there 
Until I saw you in the clearing 
A gentle light upon the Glen 
Ebing slowly across the valley 
Like no place I'd ever been

Here at Lanes End, 
it's Tuesday I'm in Houston
Where you'll find me,
tomorrow in Santa Fe,
It's the only I long to be
there's no distance that's too great
I'm coming home, I'm on my way Sanctuary, there's a place off of the town road where you'll find me,
for a mile it twists and bends
It's the only place I long to be

I have Summered and I have Wintered
These fleeting days that shall remain
Before the hearth and by the fire
I will sing this songs refrain...
Here at Lanes End is where you'll find me 
Where I'm happy, where I feel free 
Sanctuary from this journey
It's the only place I long to be
