At The Turning Point

We have traveled hard, traveled long
Many a night and day
Stops, starts, turning points
Along the way
But now and then we come to rest
Among old friends and new
It fills my heart with gratitude
To share this night with you

At the turning point we reunite
With family and friends
One more December slips away,
The long year ends
There’s a touch of snow on the river road
The old becomes the new
Returning to the turning point with you

Well, the Hudson Valley's been my home
For thirty years and more
The welcome that I’ve found is like
An open door
Streets and sidewalks comfort me
Whether I’m up or down
I will never be a stranger
In this old river town

At the turning point we reunite
With family and friends
One more December slips away,
The long year ends
There’s a touch of snow on the river road
The old becomes the new
Returning to the turning point with you

May the bridges that we build
Never crumble, never burn
May our journeys never come
To the point of no return
May our voices fill this room
Lift our hearts with cheer
May we return to the turning point
This time again next year

At the turning point we reunite
With family and friends
One more December slips away,
The long year ends
There’s a touch of snow on the river road
The old becomes the new
Returning to the turning point with you

This song appears on Tom Chapin's At The Turning Point CD.
