Album:

Running Down the Road

I remember now the time you left
 You thought to say farewell
 But for how long you would be gone
 There was no way to tell
 You just set out upon your road
 It caused you lots of grief
 And took you many places that
 You came to, for to leave


REFRÉN:
 Alone for years you sailed around
 At last your ship come in
 Well, charge admission on her deck
 Or sail her out again


Among the people that you met
 Are some you'll see again
 With perfumed flowers in your hands
 You stood there in the rain
 They set the stage for anything
 And everyone was game
 You came alone and now at home
 They stop and ask your name


REFRÉN


You'd like to see your friends again
 The ones left on the road
 And ramble `round from town to town
 And tell me what's been told
 And sing the song you sang before
 You sat before the king
 And fate alone will guide you on
 And give you words to sing.


REFRÉN
