Well, the road I see before me
Threatens pain in every bend, yeah
Who'd might meet someone 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 you love you gave me sorrow
And two broken hearts to mend, yeah
So I took me to this lonely road
My sweet hopes to defend Oh, I why pretend, I want the fact?
Even though the love
Of a happy man waits before Well, the winter-wind blows chilly
And the road is dark and gray
So take pity on a wanderer
Should you pass me on the way Oh, I'll 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
