Man's Road Songtext

von Jimmy Webb

Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn.
Dust demon, screaming, bring me an eagle to lead me on.
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking Man's Road.

I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down.
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found.
It will be a long time till I find my abode.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking man's Road.

Moon rising, disguising loney streets in gay displays.
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode.
Here I am, on Man's Road
Walking man's Road.
