From the recording Along The Road
A send up for the warmth of a lover who will accept you as you are, and bring light to your darkness.
Lyrics
I woke to find it was long into the day
my head it hurt, the past was kind of gray
just a lonely soul, in messy kinda state
when along the road she comes
yeah along the road she comes
And the suns in her hair and a smile on her face
she knows the things there’s no need t say to me
the past is past, the future is our way
yeah along the road she comes
yeah along the road she comes
Chorus
And I find my doubts all come slippin in
when the light is gone from the day
And I find my doubts come creepin in
but the light comes when she walks my way
And this time, I’m not gonna let her go
I learned some things in the darkness and the cold
Its a good woman that can lighten up the load
When along the road she comes
Along the road, she comes
chorus, bridge
But I wake to find a spark in me,
that rises like the sun
I wake to find a spark in me, that rises (HOLD)
Rises yeah
solo verse 4, quieter
Now I can look back, we loved until we’re old
Gone past the silver, and on to the gold
Its a good woman, who lightens up your soul
When along the road she comes
along the road she comes
Fade out on ...
Nah, nah nah .... (along,along along the road)
When you walked back in I said please hold me
and swore I’d never break again
ever since the day, you came walking back my way
we’ve been lovers and we’ve been best friends.
