And as we wind on down the road, Our shadows taller than our soul, There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The truth will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll.
Crowds that scream at superstars Where bouncers show they're battle scars I've been the first to sign on every wall Down the road and round the bend We pray to god it never ends I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
Finally - a word where I can post part of one of my favorite songs!!!
Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold And it's always summer, they'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and gray You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happy there today , today
Still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, When the moon is a ghostly galleon, tossed upon the cloudy seas, When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, A highwayman comes riding, riding, riding, A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
Although we’ve come to the end of the road Still I can’t let you go It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you Come to the end of the road Still I can’t let you go It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Its Main Street after midnight just like it was before 21 months later at the local grocery store Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz The road goes on forever and the party never ends

ReplyDeleteOur shadows taller than our soul,
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway
To heaven...
Song: Stairway to Heaven
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Here I am, on the road again,
ReplyDeletethere I am, up on the stage
There I go, playin' star again,
there I go, turn the page
Song: Turn the Page

ReplyDeleteAnyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today

Remember this one?
ReplyDeleteAlthough we’ve come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Well, if no one else is going to do it, I will:
ReplyDeleteOn the road again
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
Song: On the Road Again

Candace, I thought of that one, but for some reason though someone else had already posted it. How about this one?

That leads

Please come now I think I’m falling
ReplyDeleteI’m holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape
