...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.
