lyrics

Open Road

Driving alone through the deep night
sailing alone through the sea
riding alone through the desert baby
'cause they've all forsaken me

How many waves in an ocean?
How many stars at night?
Healing and frightening don't you think
At the very same time

The endless dreams we're dreamin'
The quest for control
The quest for affection
The quest for a home

And all this nothing I can see
Sometimes this holiness is killing me
North and South and West and East
This life's an open road to me

Roaming, searching
forever and a day
lucky is the one
who's found his way

I'd like to be like a mountain
a constant force in time
forearmed and well prepared against
the odd ways of life

A flash lighting the darkness
A fresh mountain breeze
A little sandgrain
in a creek (that is me, that is me, that is me and all)

All this nothing I can see
Sometimes this holiness is killing me
North and South and West and East
This life's an open road to me

All this nothing I can see
Sometimes this holiness is killing me
North and South and West and East
This life's an open road to me
