Forever on The Road

from Arch Stanton by Arch Stanton

lyrics

I’ve always known that someday
I will wake at night alone.
You say you've never found a place
you didn't soon outgrow,
but I caught you smiling sweetly when
you dreamed you were at home,
and I know you can’t bear to be
forever on the road.

You have a buried longing
that the highways can’t hold down,
and lately I’ve been trying
not to let you turn around.
I stop and let you sleep
while I soak up another town,
cause the quiet hum of solitude
is not a pretty sound.

I feel the sting of lonely winds,
the ending of the night
when guiding stars go dim
and disappear against the night.
In the midst of a swollen sun,
I see you lying there,
reminded now of why I want
to take you everywhere.

I always knew that someday
I would wake at night alone.
I knew you couldn't bear to be
forever on the road.
