Been On The Road So Long - Sandy Denny

I’ve been on the road, so long

Been tired and broke, so long

I’ve been to the south where the winds they were warm

Travelling the road of no return, so long

I’ve seen what was war, so long

The ruins and the scars, so long

The mansions of mud, the wounds and the blood

Seen the dying of all that was good, so long.

Seen the world in the shadow, so long

Is its mushrooming cloud, so long

And the lies and the greed of the leaders of men

Those cheats who would take us to war again, so long.

Yet hope is in me, so long

For it’s love that I see, so long

The courage and strenght of the young men’s smile

The faith that’s in a little child, so long

I’ve travelled this road, so long
