I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor
Like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while
Just around the corner, just another mile..."

I had heard the stories, her legend served her well
A mystic´s myth or fable, truth or fairy tale
A raggle taggle gypsy, with a toothless smile
Said "Sit with me my darling, let´s talk a little while..."

And the road goes on,
Seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay
And the road goes on,
Forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...

The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystic´s ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what could never be...

And the road goes on,
Seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay
And the road goes on,
Forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...

And the road goes on,
Seeming ever longer on the Way to Mandalay
And the road goes on,
Forever will I wander on the Way to Mandalay...
