TwilightOdyssey
Darkness on the edge of Tone
This one is a bit different from our usual fare -- it's very '70s groovy/mellow in that Trapeze/old Rush/old Judas Priest dirty sort-of-way.

THE ROAD
Oh, my body is so weary
My heart is wearier still
But there'll be no rest tonight
Many lonely hours til I drink my fill
The miles are dry and dusty
My burdens heavy on my back
And the cruel whisper of the wind
Mocks me for what I lack
Tell me, Mister, do you know the way?
I could have sworn that I found it just yesterday
But is slipped like water right through my hands
And vanished in an instant
In the bleak and thirsty sands
I cannot see the path before my feet
Oh, the way is cloudy and unkind
And the sun is sinking slowly
And the darkness is upon my mind
I tell myself I can find my way home
But can a wanderer make their way on will alone?
When relief is all but a memory and the wasteland lies ahead
Can defiance bid the foot to rise again?
I cannot see the path before my feet
And the way is cloudy and unkind
And the sun is sinking slowly
And the darkness is upon my mind
So far
off course no North star
Is gonna steer me where I need to be
So lost
You know I'll never count the true cost
I'm dead broke
Baby, oh can't you see?
Oh, whoa dark wings
Bringing all those dark things
All those nasty little things
You never ever wanna see
All wrong
I'll never sing a different song
You see there's no mercy on this road for me
