Where Our Destination Lies Lyrics
you say you don't want to know where this road goes
as you follow its twist and its turns
if i'm gonna be someone equally free
there are things that i must unlearn
i'd say it's safe to surmise there'll be storms at times
cause you're a wind so blustery and cold
and down our cheeks the rain will fall in sheets
'til the sun warms us both
the pavement's the drum and we're waltzing in beat
the rhythm of the sound of our shoes on the street
i'll take care of you if you take care of me
if you take care of me
you say you don't want to know where this road goes
cause you don't want to spoil the surprise
we will see you're eventually
where our destination lies
where our destination lies
as you follow its twist and its turns
if i'm gonna be someone equally free
there are things that i must unlearn
cause you're a wind so blustery and cold
and down our cheeks the rain will fall in sheets
'til the sun warms us both
the rhythm of the sound of our shoes on the street
i'll take care of you if you take care of me
if you take care of me
cause you don't want to spoil the surprise
we will see you're eventually
where our destination lies
where our destination lies

Only heard about 15 seconds, but it sounds sweet.
I'm seeing Arthur tomorrow, souly so I can listen to Ben Gibbard's two songs :)
Not a bad song, reminiscent of various folk songs and singers from ages past.
It seems like Gibbard is trying to sound a little like Willy at the beginning, I like it. Their other sound is sometimes just a little too clean, a little grit in the voice helps them and The Decemberists. Twee is nice at times but I prefer Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan's sound - even though sometimes they sound hideous.
I wish I could say this song is original, but I love it anyway. Reminds me of me and my wife, has been a hard road for us, but by God we're still on it together.
The funny thing is that when I first met my wife, I was a city boy, she a country girl. We took a 30 mile bike ride and purposefully got lost in the country - because she didn't want to know where we were going - that it would be an adventure to see where we'd end up. That was 19 years ago.
