about

This is an Eliza Gilkyson tune from her album "Paradise Hotel". Cynthia Chatis is featured on vocals, Bob Moore on vocals and guitar. The tune has become part of our repertoire when Cynthia and I perform as a duo. We shared the song with The Writers in the Round group on Star Island several years ago. I had a chance to ask Eliza if it would be okay to record the song and she gave us her nod when I heard her play a show in Exeter, NH at The Word Barn back in 2018. It's one of our favorite songs.

lyrics

When You Walk On
~ words and music by Eliza Gilkyson

There's a long and winding river
From the darkness to the dawn
It will carry and deliver you
When you walk on

No one here can say for certain
What lies in the great beyond
You'll pass through that parted curtain
When you walk on

1st bridge

You may grasp at the illusion
The confusion of your mind
But soon you will remember
To surrender one more time

2nd bridge

You may fade out the doorway
Fly away above the throne
Those who stay carry your story
A little glory lingers on


Though the world you leave behind you
Will become a distant song
Every soul you loved will find you
When you walk on

When you walk on
