Under Cover Of Night Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Arlo Guthrie 

Truth is you've been waiting so long 

You're ripe and so insane 

Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain 

How long will you sit there wondering 

What's happening to your heart 

Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start 

CHORUS: 

I'll take to the road in a little while 

Under cover of night 

You come or you stay 

Whatever seems right 

I ain't looking for friends or lovers 

Ain't looking for a pot of gold 

Had it all when I was younger - It got old 

Who will leave this world of sorrow 

Who will die to all the fears 

Kowning I'll be gone tommorow - Gone for years 

CHORUS 

Somewhere the sun's just rising 

And the road comes in to view 

There's a wanderer freed from dying - Could be you 

Who will pay the price for freedom 

Learn the disciplines of the road 

Many tried but few succeed - So I'm told
