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
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
He stopped by a store
Between the ?
A child’s face peeked out and gave a smile
then ran back
Behind a misty glass
On a window pane
A little finger drew a perfect heart
And her name
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
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
Where do you go, where do you go
To find happiness
In a world filed with hatred
And tears
Where do you go, where do you go
If no one cares
And everybody’s lost
Looking for their’s
from Yusuf/Cat Steven's new album Roadsinger (To Warm You Through The Night)
