brave companion of the road

where are you going there?

with your suitcase by the back porch stairs

with my heart in your hand

in this cold december wind again

the cafes and bars are closed

the christmas lights are veiled in snow

tell me where are you going?

my brave companion of the road

it seems to me that you are lonelier

than i've ever seen you be

oh

it's plain to see

that you've gone crazier

than you ever thought you'd be

when the lights go down

and the dance floor is empty

and the crowd is going home

i will be waiting

for my brave companion of the road

some days come up roses

some days just come and go

some nights are so ruthless

that you can't recall the day before

this love has seen better days

than home for these holidays

'cause this love has miles for sense of place

oh

my brave companion of the road

tell me

where are you going?

my brave companion of the road
