Lessons from a long and lonesome road
Tethered to the arrow then the sword
And a heart that’s been broken, many times before
Here lies the pleasure and the pain
Here comes that loneliness again
When the light in the distance
Seems so far away
When you can’t fight the riptide
and you feel it pull you down
Caught in a landslide
No way to get out
Know.. that within time
Everything turns round
Everything turns round
Feels just like your left out in the cold
And all your words forever left untold
Like the love in the lover
Never to unfold
Lessons from a long and lonesome road
Listen now when all your hope has gone
and the man on the juke box
sings his lonesome song
When you can’t fight the riptide
and you feel it pull you down
Caught in a landslide
No way to get out
Know.. that within time
Everything turns round
Everything turns round
When you can’t fight the riptide
and you feel it pull you out
Caught in a landslide
Walls are fallin’down
Know…that within time
Everything turns round
Everything turns round
