Lhasa De Sela - Anywhere On This Road lyrics

rate me

I live in this country now

I'm called by this name

I speak this language

It's not quite the same

For no other reason

Than this it's my home

And the places I used to be far from are gone

You've travelled this long

You just have to go on

Don't even look back to see

How far you've come

Though your body is bending

Under the load

There is nowhere to stop

Anywhere on this road

My heart is breaking

I cannot sleep

I love a man

Who's afraid of me

He believes if he doesn't

Stand guard with a knife

I'll make him my slave

For the rest of his life

I love this hour

When the tide is just turning

There will be an end

To the longing and yearning

If I can stand up

To angels and men

I'll never get swallowed

In darkness again

You've travelled this long

You just have to go on

Don't even look back to see

How far you've come

Though your body is bending

Under the load

There is nowhere to stop

Anywhere on this road
