Brave Companion Of The Road Lyrics - Storms - Nanci Griffith

Where are you goin' there? 

With your suitcase by the back porch stairs 

With my heart in your hand 

In this cold December wind again 

Cafes and bars are closed 

Christmas lights are veiled in snow 

Where are you goin'? 

My brave companion of the road 

It seems to me that you are lonelier 

Than I've ever seen you be 

And 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 goin' home 

I will be waitin' 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 

'Cuz this love has miles for sense of place 

For my brave companion of the road 

It seems to me that you are lonelier 

Than I've ever seen you be 

And 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 goin' home 

I will be waitin' for my 

Brave companion of the road 

Tell me, where are you goin'? 

My brave companion of the road 

I will always be waitin' 

For my brave companion of the road
