Roadsinger Lyrics - Roadsinger (to Warm You Through The Night) - Yusuf Islam

Roadsinger came to town, 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 stall between the barrels and sacks 

A child's face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back 

Behind a misty glass on a windowpane 

A little finger drew a perfect heart and a 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 taught 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 filled with hatred, tears 

Where do you go? Where do you go if no one cares? 

And everybody's lost looking for theirs
