Road Trip

Take heart: cheat the dark

Get driving with the lark

As cities sleep,

Steal a march before the sun

It’s all philosophy

On an open motorway

Chasing break of day

Somewhere on a border town

I’ve packed my ceilidh boots

I’ve got my “once was” looks

I’ve got my tubes and hooks

Reel, drogue, priest and bung

Throw away your fears

Peel away the years

I’ve seen too many leaves

Falling down

‘Cause we’ll get old

Before this night is done

So get far away

So come with me

Everything you see

Is everything you need

Take a road trip

Go soul deep

Unwind: touch the brine

Take some bread: break some wine

I can see the water line

Red below the Lewis sun

Where the ocean rolls

Aboard the ship of souls

The healing wind blows

So why crawl when we can run

Go find your other life

One road: steeper climbs

Where the river winds

Straight into the west

Fade away like rust

Vanish like the dust

‘Cause, baby, tramps like us

were born with cianalas

So come with me

Everything you see

Is everything you need

Take a road trip

Go soul deep

Get free: Believe: Go real

Everything you ever need

Is waiting for you here

Get Free; Believe: Go real

Could this be the living glimpse

Of all that’s meant to be

‘Cause we’ll get old

Before this night is done

So get far away

So come with me

Everything you see

Is everything you need

Take a road trip

Go soul deep
