Well the road I see before me threatens pain in every ?bend? yeah Who'd might meet someone I understand and hope to call him friend Well good company, it may comfort me But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way Now you love you gave me sorrow and two broken hearts to mend So I took me to this lonely road, my sweet hopes to defend Oh I wile pretend, I want the fact Even though the love of a happy man waits before Well the winter-wind blows chilly and the road is dark and gray So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way Oh I'll laugh alone without a home Makes a man ask why he travels on when hope is gone It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long road
