Lyrics

THE ROAD
Written by Mary Harris/ Burleigh Drummond

In your eyes I see there's a light that's shining
And I feel your hands upon my face
I can see the love when you are smiling
On a road that knows my name

I have watched a thousand moons in passing
Falling through the sky at night
Have you seen the sun, I am asking
For the road that knows my name

Now the path I walk is forever winding
And so many dreams I've left behind
Secrets that we've shared are forever binding
To a road that knows my name

Broken dreams, promises ended
Soon they will mend
All in time
I will find, the restless call of my heart

There are little men who would show me favor
If I in return would give them mine
I could walk forever and never finish
On a road that knows no name

Broken dreams, promises ended
Soon they will mend
All in time I will find
The restless call of my heart

Deep within my heart I can see a rainbow
And I know a life has come from mine
Faded memories come back slowly
From the darkness to the light

I can feel the rain as it falls from heaven
And I know the stars won't fade away
I can see your eyes they are shining
On a road that knows my name.
