Been On The Road So Long

(Album: It's Sandy Denny - 1970)

I've been on the road
So long
Been tired and broke
So long
I've been to the south
Where the winds they were warm
Travelling the road
Of no return
So long

I've seen what was war
So long
The ruins and the scars
So long
The mansions of mud
The wounds and the blood
Seen the dying of all
That was good
So long

Seen the world in the shadow
So long
Is it's mushrooming cloud
So long
And the lies and the greed
Of the leaders of men
Those cheats who would
Take us to war again
So long

Yet hope is in me
So long
For it's love that I see
So long
The courage and strength
Of the young men's smile
The faith that's in
A little child
So long

I've travelled this road
So long
Have been tired and broke
So long
I've been to the south
Where the winds they were warm
Travelling the road
Of no return
So long
