Subject: Lyr Add: BEEN ON THE ROAD SO LONG (Alex Campbell)
Here's Alex Campbell's "Been on the Road (so long)"
I've been on the road, so long Been tired and broke, so long I've been to the south where the winds they were born Travelling the road of no return, so long
I've seen what was war, so long The ruins and the scars, so long The mansions of mud, the wounds and the blood Seen the dying of all that was good, so long.
Seen the world in the shadow, so long Is its mushrooming cloud, so long And the lies and the greed of the leaders of men Those cheats who will take us to war again, so long.
Yet hope is in me, so long For it's love that I see, so long The courage and strength of the young men's smile The faith that's in a little child, so long
I've travelled the road, so long Have been tired and broke, so long I've been to the south where the winds they were born Travelling the road of no return, so long.
