On these lonely roads I’ve been travelling for so long Trying to find shelter from the pain I’ve been searching for the sound and the smell Of the rivers and the young trees
Now that it seems that I know each path And each crossroad and each flower and each tree I am sitting back on the ground Looking back over my shoulder vanishing away
On these lonely roads I’ve been searching for so long For the arms to keep me from flying away From the ancient memories of old wounds that I’ve been Trying to ignore then to heal
Now that it seems that I know each rose And each of their thorns, and each color they wear I am standing on the road again Looking far away to the horizon Pretending to make out an aim
Ah, will I ever find peace in my heart Ah, will I ever find a reason to stay Somewhere I can call my home Far from the storms That have been raging Inside my heart for so long
On these lonely roads When twilight has come down On the desert of my soul I’ve been feeling so hard The bite and the cold Of the winter of my life
Now that it seems That I’ve known too well The sorrows and deception and tears I am lying down on the ground Looking high above in the sky The stars are waiting for me
Ah, will I ever find peace in my heart Ah, will I ever find a reason to stay Somewhere I can call my home Far from the storms That have been raging Inside my heart for so long
