The Road
Wanderlust Melodies: Whitehorse's Journey Through Life's Open Roads
Lyrics
There was a road
There existed a path or route.
We travelled far
We journeyed a considerable distance.
By train, airplane or car
Regardless of the mode of transportation - train, airplane, or car.
We'd find a home
We would discover a place to live temporarily.
Away from home
A place that felt like a home away from our actual home.
Another open door was never very far
There was always another opportunity or place nearby, easily accessible.
Oh how I miss the winding curve
I yearn for the bends and curves in the road.
Guessing what's beyond the bend
Anticipating what lies ahead around the corners.
All the melodies we heard
All the various tunes and songs we encountered.
From strangers and friends
Music from both unknown individuals and acquaintances.
Oh how the road came to an end
The journey on the road reached its conclusion.
A culdesac, a bungalow and a big old empty bed
Arriving at a dead-end street, a small house, and an empty large bed.
Oh how the road came to an end
The road trip eventually ended.
the vagabond, the recluse once again
The wanderer and loner lifestyle returned once more.
There was a time
There existed a period in the past.
we moved so fast
We traveled swiftly and energetically.
From city, town, below the overpass
Moving from urban to rural areas, even under bridges.
Reading signs
Interpreting and following directional signs.
Chasing yellow lines
Trailing the painted lines on the road.
Tracing fingers over gas station maps
Tracing paths on maps at gas stations with our fingers.
We'd drink our Coffee at the pie shop
Enjoying coffee at a local pie shop.
or tequila in the tall grass
Relaxing with tequila in grassy fields.
All the motel curtains drawn
Closed curtains in motels as bright neon signs flicker.
As the neon signs flash
As the neon signs flash, indicating motel vacancies.
