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]
