The Old Man in this story is like the
Time-seasoned Sage. He knows where he is
in his life-span, and accepts it easily.
He's still on the Long Road.

ROAD WITHOUT A NAME

THERE'S NO NEED FOR LOOKING BACK.
WHAT WAS THERE IS GONE.
THE FRIENDS THAT WE HAD THEN,
ALL ARE MOVING ON.
PLACES I REMEMBER,
THEY DON'T LOOK THE SAME.
I'VE JUST GOT TO MOVE ON DOWN -
THIS ROAD WITHOUT A NAME.
CHORUS
A TRAVELER WITH NO PAST.
A STRANGER FROM MY HOME.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR LOOKING BACK.
GOT TO TRAVEL ON.
NOTHING IS THE SAME,
ALONG THE ROAD I CAME.
GOT TO MOVE ALONG,
ON THIS ROAD WITHOUT A NAME.

NOT MUCH I CAN CARRY,
OF WHAT I HAD BEFORE.
HAD TO LIGHTEN UP THE LOAD,
TO EASE ON THROUGH THE DOOR.
PAST THE POSTED SIGNPOSTS,
LEFT BY THOSE WHO CAME,
THRUGH THE YEARS BEFORE ME,
ON THIS ROAD WITHOUT A NAME.
CHORUS
A TRAVELER WITH NO PAST.
A STRANGER FROM MY HOME.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR LOOKING BACK.
GOT TO TRAVEL ON.
NOTHING IS THE SAME,
ALONG THE ROAD I CAME.
GOT TO MOVE ALONG,
ON THIS ROAD WITHOUT A NAME.
