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
