Lyrics
It?s something like a sickness
From which there is no healing
You get tired of that feeling, but you?re strong
When you?re on the stage
All the dreams that kept you going
Are the seeds that you?ve been sowing with your song
In your mind
What you?ve left behind
Lies in pieces upon that long and winding road
That?s the life of a modern day folk hero
The scenery passes by
Every city an acquaintance
Every brief hello is also a goodbye
The memory of her kiss
Has become your sole companion
When you choose that lonely freedom, it?s for life
Those dreams are gone
Though they linger on
As you follow the headlights down that long and winding road
That?s the dream of a modern day folk hero
