Away From The Road
There's a thousand orbits like wheels in my head
I'm climbing into new ones and I still ain't dead
I've even got myself a good lover by my side
But shadows still spin that need kicking aside
there's a thousand reasons I'm sitting in my chair
Looking out the window wishing I was out there
I may lose my shelter I may even lose my job
There's many things to lose in the masses and the mobs
There's wheels and wheels spinning round and round
Some are lifting me higher some are weighing me down
But there's grace in the wildness where fears often loom
And somethings need to die so other things can bloom
I think it's time for me to go and get lost in the woods
Forty days and forty nights should do me some good
Out beyond the cities and broken land highways
Walk into the old world
Walk into the old world
Walk, walk, walk
Away from the road
Walk, walk, walk
Away from the road
Back here in New York the winds are giving up
The storm is passing as I sip coffee from my cup
The pages on my lap seem closer to me now
And though I'm getting older I feel younger somehow
There's wheels and wheels spinning round and round
Some are lifting me higher some are weighing me down
But there's grace in the wildness where fears often loom
And somethings need to die so other things can bloom
I think it's time for me to go and get lost in the woods
Forty days and forty nights should do me some good
Out beyond the cities and broken land highways
Walk into the old world
Walk into the old world
Walk, walk, walk
Away from the road
Walk, walk, walk
Away from the road
