About the song
some interesting open chord voicings sort of gelled
into this rather meloncholy piece...more of a pause to
reflect than any attempt to rehash old regrets
Lyrics




I can see the new dawn's light, shining on the highway up ahead

the cold black tar is stretching far, as empty as the dreams inside my head

I can't exactly say I'm glad, to leave behind the things that made me sad

but if happiness is down the road, then that's the way I know,

I've got to go....


there used to be a girl down there, with sunlight dancing in her golden hair

I saw the beauty in her smile and lord, I knew I'd have to stay a while

but all the things good fortune brings, are the very things

that time will steal away

the empty bed says love is gone, the endless highway calls me

with its song....


And I'm on my way, on my way, once more...


don't tell me what you think I need, I'll tell you where I think I need to be

I can hear it in the morning sun, the silence of a new day just begun

and somewhere in the distant light, this shining road will end in endless night

but I'll keep my face into the wind, knowing where it ends

it just begins...


And I'm on my way, on my way, once more..


well there's the way things used to be, and there's the way you wish that they were now

when you look back on reality, you wonder if it makes some sense somehow

but all those questions in your mind, won't lead you to that thing you need to find

so you know you better travel on, and hope that you can find it, 'fore it's gone


and hope that you can find it, 'fore it's gone....
