Lyrics

[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]
Where do you go, where do you go
When hearts are closed?
When a friend becomes 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 windowpane
A little finger drew a perfect heart and a name
[Chorus]
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?
[Instrumental]
Roadsinger rode on
To another land
Though the people spoke a different tongue, they'd understand
They showed him how to share
And took him by the hand
Showed him the path to Heaven through the desert sand
[Chorus]
Where do you go, where do you go
To find happiness
In a world filled with hatred and tears?
Where do you go, where do you go
If no one cares
And everybody's lost looking for theirs?
