...ROADSINGER... by Yusuf Islam ------------............... *from ’Roadsinger’ (2009)* Intro: Verse 1: Roadsinger came to town; long cape and hat. People stood and stared then closed their doors as he passed. He strolled the empty street; kids banged on tin cans. Then the panting dogs began to bark as the roadsinger sang. Chorus 1: Where do you go where do you go when hearts are closed? When a friend be-comes a stranger nobody wants to know. Where do you go where do you go when the world turns dark And the light of truth is blown out and the roads are blocked? Verse 2: He stopped by a stall between the barrels and sacks A child’s face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back. Behind a misty glass on a window-pane little finger drew perfect heart and name. Chorus 2: Where do you go where do you go in a world filled with fright Only a song to warm you through the night? Where do you go where do you go after lies are told And the light of truth is blown out and the night is cold? Interlude: (with Mmm’s) (x2) Verse 3: Roadsinger rode on to another land Though the people spoke a different tongue; it under-stand. They showed him how to share and took him by the hand Showed him the path to Heaven through the desert sand. Chorus 3: Where do you go where do you go to find happi-ness In a world filled with hatred tears? Where do you go where do you go if no one cares And every-body’s lost looking for theirs.
