Emmylou Harris - The Road lyrics
Your rating:
I can still remember every song you played Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old? Such a fire in our belly, such a hunger in souls I guess I've grown to love you in those words so often tired Seen that we were traveling under some old lucky sign I know I didn't say it then and no one was to blame But the road we shared together once will never be the same Hey, all along the way Won't be coming 'round again Hey, was a song I played And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away I wondered in the wilderness, for a while I was so lost To everything there is a season and every blessing has its cost So I took what you left to me and put it to some use When looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth I come down from the mountain I come walking in your shoes I was taken for a gambler when I had no more to loose For he put me on that path, how could I refuse And I would spend my whole life out here working on the blues Hey... So I carried on, you can't be haunted by the past People come, people go and nothing ever lasts But I still think about you wonder where you are Can you see me from some place up there among the stars? But down here under heaven there never was a chart To guide our way across this crooked highway of the part And if it's only all about the journey in the end On that road I'm glad I came to know my old friend Hey, all along the way Won't be coming 'round again Hey, was a song I played And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly away I'll fly
