Upon the lonesome road The traveler's hardened home Hiding from the shining faces Tucked away from settled places With youth and driven covered holes Above overshadowed lonely souls They march towards greener pastures To their happily ever afters And so our hero traveler From the land of down under With nothing save an old suitcase And a youthful grin upon his face And golden locks of wavy hair That stretch to cross his selfish stare He'll take the path unspoken And break the rules unbroken Yet we aren't all we think we are For born beneath a Northern star Standing tall above the crowd Possessing beauty well renowned Empowered with a humbling grace That shatters all the strongest gates Our heroine she captivates SongtexteSlow down she'll say and tell him of a story Filled with hope she'll say that he can stay awhile Though she knows that parting ways will soon be so She'll think of him when she is on the lonesome road But following the long goodbyes Our traveler he closed his eyes And turned the other way To other lonely days And she while saddened by the end Just shed her cracked and weathered skin And turned the other way No sadness can hold sway Yet time can prove the harshest foe Where memories gain the weight of stone And desires straighten crooked roads And lead back to a place called home So it is no surprise to him That they'll turn back before the end The thought of her it makes him bend Slow down he'll say and tell her of a story Filled with hope he'll say that she can stay awhile Though he knows that parting ways will soon be so He'll think of her when he is on the lonesome road The lonesome road But it's not meant to be At least not like the way we see For they are nothing but a dream A future with the faintest gleam 'Cause there's no pattern in the way That paths and lives collide or stray The power of the lonesome road To steal the gold it freely sold So let this story be Not sad but just reality For they will hold each other As often as can be And if they meet again She'll smile and he will take her hand And deceive their greener pastures For just a while Slow down they'll say and tell each other stories Filled with hope they'll say that they can stay awhile Though they know that parting ways will soon be so They'll dream of this while sleeping on the lonesome road Aus Songtexte Mania
