IT'S A LONG ROAD

Well, the road I see before me threatens pain at every bend, yeah
Well, might meet some man I understand and hope to call him friend
Well, good company, it may comfort me
But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way

Now, your love, it gave me sorrow and a broken heart to mend, yeah
So I took me to this lonely road, my sweet hopes to defend
Oh, and why pretend? I won't look back
Even though the love of a happy man waits before

Well, the winter wind blows chilly and the road is dark and grey
So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way
Oh, her laugh alone, without a home
Makes a man ask why he travels on when hope is gone

It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road
