Back on the road once more And who knows what will lie in store For you, dearest Anne Better the highway code Than being secure behind closed doors And dreaming, dearest Anne Carry your faith like a jewel among thieves May your soul shine out brightly        And quite politely You'll bring them to their knees, dear Anne Long may the road and the wind and the rain still be behind you Til you change your mind again, dearest Anne Wish I was with you walking by your side Wish I was young again to see it through your eyes But I'm old and I've relinquished, nearly extinguished The burning need for surprises in my life Long may the road and the wind and the rain still be behind you Til you change your mind, dearest Anne (2x) Long may the road and wind be with you in your need And the changing seasons    And the freedom To believe the truth they breathe As long as the road is not your guide And you realize that it's just an escape, dearest Anne Wish I was with you walking by your side Wish I was young again to see it through your eyes But I'm old and I've relinquished, nearly extinguished The burning need for surprises in my life As long as the road is not your guide And you realize that's just an escape, dearest Anne
