The Road

Nice song for campfires, Summer nights and more. It was first released on The Door EP, but re-recorded for the debut album The Optimist LP.

There’s a road with two yellow lines
They go on for years
And the people there smile and wave
It’s not like back home

In their doorways
Where the evening sky
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my room

Times are fierce and times are fine
Yeah it goes that way
Down some highway
Down some lonely road
In that old fashioned way

In the garden
On the ceiling
Light up my room
Light up my room
Light up my room
Light up my room

But the darkness
Let’s him see here all of the people they never knew
Float into space
Falling through red puddles and places they never seen
Will my soul be angry?
When you die do you feel alright?

In the garden
When the evening sky
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my room

There’s a road with two yellow lines
They go on for years
And the people there smile and wave
It’s not like back home

In their doorways
Where the evening sky
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my room
Lights up my

    When you know youve been singing the wrong lyrics for year’s and even though you now stand corrected you cant stip it.

    CLUBSCOUTS are screaming,
    WEARING icescreaming
    and all the pleasures of June
    I’m in a parked car,
    Flowers seem friendly
    And people ALWAYS SEEM WARM.
    Now it is night time
    maybe we’re cruising
    avoiding the anti-cruise.
    Oh I don’t really know where we are.

    If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
    By the time fear takes me over will we still be LONELY & feeling oblivion.

    Mine totally work! Available to screen upcoming albums 😆
