lyrics

I LOST MY WAY, I COULD NOT FIND IT D Bm
I PUT MY BAG RIGHT ON THE GROUND A Bm/ G
THERE IS NO HOME THAT YOU CAN RUN TO D Bm
IF MY HEART, IT CAN’T BE FOUND A Bm / G

I GET MY HOPES UP, I TRY TO HOLD ON
TO A FIRE I CANNOT HOLD
I SEARCH MY FACE NOW, I\LL GET THERE SOMEHOW
FOR ONE MORE STEP ALONG THE ROAD

CH: OH I LET THE WIND BLOW A Bm G
OH I LET THE SUN GO DOWN A Bm G
OH, I LET THE NIGHT TIME TAKE ME HOME Bm A D...

THIS ROAD I’M ON NOW, IT IS THE SAME ONE
I MUST HAVE BEEN HERE A THOUSAND YEARS
IT SHOWS ME TOO MUCH, OF WHAT I CAN’T TOUCH
IT WHISPERS SECRETS IN MY EAR

I LOOK BEHIND ME, THE GOLDEN PRAIRIES
A CHILD RUNNING RIGHT FOR THE SUN
I LOOK AHEAD TO THE HORIZON
AN OLD MAN WITH HIS BAG DOWN ON THE ROAD

INSRUMENTAL
FIRST VERSE

His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
