...ROADSINGER... by Yusuf Islam ----------------............... *from 'Roadsinger' (2009)* Intro: Verse 1: Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat. , People stood and stared, then closed their doors, as he passed. He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans. , Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the roadsinger sang. Chorus 1: Where do you go, where do you go, when hearts are closed? When a friend be-comes a stranger, nobody wants to know. Where do you go, where do you go, when the world turns dark, , And the light of truth is blown out, and the roads are blocked? Verse 2: He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks, , A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back. Behind a misty glass, on a window-pane, , A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name. Chorus 2: Where do you go, where do you go, in a world filled with fright, Only a song to warm you, through the night? Where do you go, where do you go, after lies are told, , And the light of truth is blown out, and the night is cold? Interlude: (with Mmm's) , , , , (x2) Verse 3: Roadsinger rode on, to another land, , Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand. They showed him how to share, and took him by the hand, , Showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand. Chorus 3: Where do you go, where do you go, to find happi-ness, In a world filled with hatred, tears? Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares, , And every-body's lost, Looking for theirs.
