holy shit am I the only one who listens to this tune .. John's best ever and boy he has lots of great songs.. i' still crying listening to this tune.. Tanks again John.. B..
John wrote this song along with Murray Mclaughlin. The other song on the same album, Journey, that is written by John is dedicated to his brother, Michael. Michael died at a young age due to alcoholism that the family tried to help him conquet but wasn't to be. It's a dark song and very heart wrenching. Give it a listen and see.

Bob Tugwell chordify.net/chords/john-mcdermott-to-the-end-of-the-road-ladygreycarolyn Just press the triangle play button and watch as it takes you through the chords. you'll be listening to the song as you watch it. Cheers mate :)
This is one of two songs that John actually wrote. The inspiraton came from his dad telling his twelve children to always go to the end of the road. I know they understood his meaning. This is a beautiful and meaningful song.
We leave the shore on the sea of life / we sink if we don’t swim / sure as the sun will rise again / we’re whistling in the wind The springtime comes and all’s made new / New life stands straight and tall / Made more sweet because you know someday / Everything withers and falls How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go We sing brave songs as we march along / As though we were off to the fair / We grasp at what glitters / And find all along / We’re just grabbing some handful of air And we lean on each other to mend our hearts / When we’re beaten and burdened with care / ‘Till we find that the child that we thought we’d lost / Was always inside us somewhere How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go / How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go / To the end of the road
Wishing John Mc Dermott all the very best at Christmas and for the New Year --- 2024 --- ❤ Evelyn O Connor

Would love to get the words of this song. I'm hard of hearing and cannot pick some of the lyrics. Have googled them, but to no avail...Help please!!!!
We leave the shore on the sea of life / we
sink if we don’t swim / sure as the sun will rise
again / we’re whistling in the wind
The springtime comes and all’s made new /
New life stands straight and tall / Made
more sweet because you know someday /
Everything withers and falls
How can we know how life will unfold /
When we cannot see the road / Through
the mists of time the path unwinds / To the
end of the road we go
We sing brave songs as we march along /
As though we were off to the fair / We
grasp at what glitters / And find all along /
We’re just grabbing some handful of air
And we lean on each other to mend our hearts
/ When we’re beaten and burdened with care
/ ‘Till we find that the child that we thought
we’d lost / Was always inside us somewhere
How can we know how life will unfold /
When we cannot see the road / Through
the mists of time the path unwinds / To the
end of the road we go / How can we know
how life will unfold / When we cannot see
the road / Through the mists of time the
path unwinds / To the end of the road we
go / To the end of the road
