The road beneath my feet
To the west, to the west
I haven't got there yet
And to the north, to the north
Never to be caught
To the south, to the south
My time is running out
Ever since my childhood I've been scared I've been afraid
Of being trapped by circumstance and staying in one place
So I always keep a small bag full of clothes carefully stored
Somewhere secret somewhere safe
And somewhere close to the door.
Yes so saddle up your horses now and keep your powder dry
Cause the truth is you won't be here long
Yeah soon your going to die
To the heart, to the heart there's no time for you to waste
You wont find your precious answers now by staying in one place
Yeah by giving up the chase
I face the horizon everywhere I go
I face the horizon the horizon is my home.
- The Road goes ever on and on
- Down from the door where it began.
- Now far ahead the Road has gone,
- And I must follow, if I can,
- Pursuing it with eager feet,
- Until it joins some larger way
- Where many paths and errands meet.
- And whither then? I cannot say.
we’ve been doing this too long.
It’s time to find another way;
it doesn’t matter what you say.
On and on and on and on,
I wish that this would soon be gone.
Another Sunday comes along;
I have to find out what is wrong
You would feel much better if you left this life alone,
I know you’ve got up and hung the phone up.
Don’t do this to yourself.
Don’t be scared to take a step into the dark unknown.
Are you ready to grow up?
Let’s get ready to grow up!
You’re on your own for a while.
You’ll decide, for yourself,
what you want – no-one else –
you’ll be free to live again.
On and on and on and on.
The time for brand new things has come.
It doesn’t matter what you say,
I’m gonna leave you annieway.
You will feel much better
now that everything is gone,
you’re gonna feel free to be yourself
and you’ll be much happier.
Don’t be scared of loneliness
it’s what you have embraced.
When you liked it with someone,
when you’ve spent your time alone.
You’re on your own for a while.
You’ll decide for yourself
what you want – no-one else –
you’ll be free to live again.
You’re not alone. We’ll be here.
Solid stones, by your side.
Put your feet on our backs,
where you know we’ll carry you.
If this life is one actBaby, I'm leaving here
Why do we lay all these traps?
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free
I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I only do this by
Living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment.
I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone
And if I fall asleep
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
To live in the moment
To live in my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I can't walk through life facing backwards
I have tried
I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied, the future I'd been searching for
But I spun around and hurt no more
By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home.
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings?
Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate
Look I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me
And if all you ever do with your life
Is photosynthesize
Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
That you waste wondering when you're gonna die
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
Home is behind
the world ahead
there are many paths to tread
through shadow
to the edge of night
until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
cloud and shade
all shall fade
all shall fade.
I got a heart, I got a reason
to love you all, every single person
it's not at all our conversation
I'm looking for total dislocation
I got a tree, it's time to cut it
to its knees, don't wanna rush it
We got to please, we got to glisten
as I remain in splendid isolation
Hey! You can be lost at the same time as being found.
Two drifters
off to see the world
there's such a lot of world
to see.
We're after the same
rainbow's end
waiting 'round the bend
my huckleberry friend
Moon River and me.
I'm better with my muscles than I am with my mouth
I work the fair grounds in the summer, go pick fruit down south
And when I feel them chilly winds, where the weather goes, I'll follow
Pack up my travling things, go with the swallows
And I might get lucky now and then.
You win some, you might get lucky now and then.
On bended knee is no way to be free
lifting up an empty cup I'll ask silently
all my destinations will accept the one that's me
so I can breathe.
Cirlces they grow and they swallow people whole
half their lives they say good night to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
and so it goes.
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
it would be you.
Everyone I come across in cages they bought
they think of me and my wandering but I'm never what they thought
I got my indognation but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive.
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
underneath my being is a road that disappears.
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead,
overhead...
Leave it to me as I'll find a way to be
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
guaranteed.
Over the mountains, across the sea
who knows what will be waiting for me?
I could sail forever to strange sounding names
Faces of people and places don't change.
All I have to do is just close my eyes
to see the seagulls wheeling in the far distant skies.
All I want to tell you, all I want to say
is count me in on the journey
don't expect me to stay.
I'm better with my muscles than I am with my mouth
I work the fair grounds in the summer, go pick fruit down south
And when I feel them chilly winds, where the weather goes, I'll follow
Pack up my travling things, go with the swallows
And I might get lucky now and then.
You win some, you might get lucky now and then.
Last night I couldn't sleep.
I got up and started walking.
Down to the end of my street and on into town.
And I had no one to meet, and I had no taste for talking.
Seems I'm talking my whole life, it's time to listen now.
I walk past the late night boys with their bottles in their doorways
And I walk past the business men, sleeping like babies in their cars.
And I thought to myself Oh son, you may be lost in more ways than one
But I have a feeling that it's more fun than knowing exactly where you are.
Like a stone carried on the river
Like a boat sailing on the sea
I keep on walking till I find that old love or that old love
comes to find me.
On bended knee is no way to be free
lifting up an empty cup I'll ask silently
all my destinations will accept the one that's me
so I can breathe.
Cirlces they grow and they swallow people whole
half their lives they say good night to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
and so it goes.
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
it would be you.
Everyone I come across in cages they bought
they think of me and my wandering but I'm never what they thought
I got my indognation but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive.
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
underneath my being is a road that disappears.
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead,
overhead...
Leave it to me as I'll find a way to be
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
guaranteed.
