lyrics

Open road home

There’s a line, a vagrant rhyme that haunts our minds
Says we are pieces that have ceased to fit together
And time will make our bed, will take our best
Says we are free to make allusions to the weather

Please your mind, we’ll be fine,
We are piloting a solid world
Holding tight, she’ll be right
We are totally compatible tonight
And free to roam on the open road home
Yeah we all know where that goes

Find in martyr’d hands the fine-grained sands
That count the ever-loving labours of our mothers
And when the sands subside, our opened eyes
Appear like stars on all the canvasses of lovers
Hear me now hear me now,
We are hopelessly devoted to the one
Or why do we look for love
In complicated love affairs that only lead on
To the open road home
Oh I know you know where that goes

And if we really feel we’ll make it real yeah if real is what we’re after
Then on our road I see the red lights fade before us
Take me down, we are bound down the only road that rises
But it finds you alone it’s the open road home

Spin me out lead me round
In these eddies of emotion here we
Silently look for love
On the only road that rises and you said
Hold me tight she’ll be right
We are hopelessly devoted to the one
Or why do we still look for love
On the only road that rises cos it’s all that we own
It’s the open road home
Oh yeah we all go where that goes
