Roadsinger

Roadsinger came to town

long cape and hat

People stood and stared

then closed their doors as he passed

He strolled the empty street

kids banged on tin cans

Then the panting dogs began to bark

as the Roadsinger sang.

Where do you go

where do you go

when hearts are closed?

When a friend becomes a stranger

nobody wants to know.

Where do you go

where do you go

when the world turns dark?

And the light of truth is blown out

and the roads are blocked?

He stopped by a stall

between the barrels and sacks

A child's face peeped out and gave a smile

and ran back

Behind a misty glass

on a windowpane

A little finger drew a perfect heart

and a name.

Where do you go

where do you go

in a world filled with fright?

Only a song to warm you

through the night.

Where do you go

where do you go

after lies are told?

And the light of truth is blown out

and the night is cold?

Mmm ...

Roadsinger rode on to another land

Though the people spoke a different tongue

it understand

They showed him how to share

and took him by the hand

Showed him the path to Heaven

through the desert sand.

Where do you go

where do you go

to find happiness

In a world filled with hatred, cheers?

Where do you go

where do you go

if no one cares?

And everybody's lost looking for theirs ?
