Drawing: Near to life’s horizon
Gasping: For a wisp of light
Reaching: Out for a new day
Finding: Only frigid night

Stumbling: Through shards of dreams
Hearing: Songs in minor keys
Crying: Like tomorrow’s gone
Clinging: On, clinging on

CHORUS
Oh, the lonely road
Paved with gold but where’s it go?
When everything is nothing
You’ve got nothing left to hold
Oh, the lonely road
Paved with gold but where’s it go?
A soul that spent its saving
Wrestles down the lonely road

Thirsting: For some silent reason
Draughting: On a bandit drug
Coating: Wells in crimson shades
Falling: In abandoned love

Hiding: Thinly veiled regret
Living: Lost among the waves
Suff’ring: On ebbing tides
Dying: For love’s saving way

CHORUS
Oh, the lonely road
Paved with gold but where’s it go?
When everything is nothing
You’ve got nothing left to hold
Oh, the lonely road
Paved with gold but where’s it go?
A soul that’s spent its saving
Restless on the lonely road

Soaking: In abundance
Starving: Will you see?
Overwhelming: Goodness
Satisfying: Need

Descending: Bread of life
Offering: From above
Feeding: Now on him
Rejuvenating: Love

Dying: For tomorrow
Rising. Oversees.
Lighting: Up the darkness
The King: Who’ll ever please

CHORUS
Oh, the lonely road
Rayed with light where will it go?
A soul spent needs its saving
And need not ever be alone

Oh, the lonely road
Rayed with light so you can know
That there’s hope beyond the struggle
And a rest for burdened souls
