Well the road I see before me threatens pain in every ?bend? yeah
Who'd might meet someone I understand and hope to call him friend
Well good company, it may comfort me
But I don't want love to distract my heart from the way

Now you love you gave me sorrow and two broken hearts to mend
So I took me to this lonely road, my sweet hopes to defend
Oh I wile pretend, I want the fact
Even though the love of a happy man waits before

Well the winter-wind blows chilly and the road is dark and gray
So take pity on a wanderer should you pass me on the way
Oh I'll laugh alone without a home
Makes a man ask why he travels on when hope is gone

It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road
It's a long road
