It's a Long Road

[Verse 1: Roger Hodgson] Well, the road I see before me Threatens pain at every bend, yeah Well, I might meet some men I understand And hope to call 'em friends Well, good company, it may comfort me But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way [Verse 2: Roger Hodgson] Now your love, it gave me sorrow And a broken heart to mend, yeah So I took me to this lonely road My sweet hopes to defend Oh, and why pretend? I won't look back Even though the love of a happy man waits before [Instrumental Bridge] Yeah, uh Ow Come on Yeah! [Verse 3: Roger Hodgson] Well, the winter wind blows chilly And the road is dark and grey So take pity on a wanderer Should you pass me on the way Oh, I'm left alone without a home Makes a man ask why he travels on when hope is gone [Chorus: Roger Hodgson] It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road [Instrumental Outro]
