Lyrics
Just a young man
By an old road
By the route he chose
An ancient song
Old tongue
For this man
Was sung
Oh i'm carrying a, heavy load
Can't go no further down it's a, long road
It's a heavy load (oh a heavy load)
By a bright stream
Came an old dream
Things are never what they always seem
And so he went on
Travelling on
Now he's a long way from home
(Chorus)
(Chorus)- repeat 3x
Writer(s): Paul Rodgers, Andy Fraser
