ARLO GUTHRIE - UNDER COVER OF NIGHT lyrics

rate me

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

Truth is you've been waiting so long

You're ripe and so insane

Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain

How long will you sit there wondering

What's happening to your heart

Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start

CHORUS:

I'll take to the road in a little while

Under cover of night

You come or you stay

Whatever seems right

I ain't looking for friends or lovers

Ain't looking for a pot of gold

Had it all when I was younger - It got old

Who will leave this world of sorrow

Who will die to all the fears

Kowning I'll be gone tommorow - Gone for years

CHORUS

Somewhere the sun's just rising

And the road comes in to view

There's a wanderer freed from dying - Could be you

Who will pay the price for freedom

Learn the disciplines of the road

Many tried but few succeed - So I'm told
