There's a priest up ahead And I'm going
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away Come away If you're gonna
Leave the sinking ship behind
Come on a-rising wind
We're going up around the bend, Ooh
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the getting's good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neon's turn to wood
Come on a-rising wind
We're going up around the bend, Ooh
You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for good conversation
There's an ear for what you say
Come on a-rising wind
We're going up around the bend, Yeah

Ooh
Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we'll meet by the big red tree
There's a priest up ahead And I'm going
Come along Come along with me
Come on a-rising wind
We're going up around the bend, Yeah
