(Nanci Griffith)



Where are you going there?

With your suitcase by the back porch stairs

With my heart in your hand

In this cold December wind again

The cafes and bars are closed

The Christmas lights are veiled in snow

Tell me where are you going?

My brave companion of the road



Chorus

It seems to me that you are lonelier

Than I've ever seen you be

Oh, it's plain to see

That you've gone crazier

Than you ever thought you'd be

When the lights go down

And the dance floor is empty

And the crowd is going home

I will be waiting

For my brave companion of the road



Some days come up roses

Some days just come and go

Some nights are so ruhtless

That you can't recall the day before

This love has seen better days

Than home for these holidays

Cuz this love has miles for sense of place

Oh, my brave compnaion of the road



Chorus



Tell me, where are you going?

My brave companion of the road
