Anywhere On This Road

Lhasa

I live in this country now 
I’m called by this name 
I speak this language 
It’s not quite the same 
For no other reason 
Than this it’s my home 
And the places i used to be
far from are gone 
You’ve travelled this long 
You just have to go on 
Don’t even look back to see 
How far you’ve come 
Though your body is bending 
Under the load 
There is nowhere to stop 
Anywhere on this road 

My heart is breaking 
I cannot sleep 
I love a man 
Who’s afraid of me 
He believes if he doesn’t 
Stand guard with a knife 
I’ll make him my slave 
For the rest of his life 

I love this hour 
When the tide is just turning 
There will be an end 
To the longing and yearning 
If i can stand up 
To angels and men 
I’ll never get swallowed 
In darkness again 

You’ve travelled this long 
You just have to go on 
Don’t even look back to see 
How far you’ve come 
Though your body is bending 
Under the load 
There is nowhere to stop 
Anywhere on this road
