Once More On the Road
It's eleven O three
There's little on the street
Except my bike and me
This dank November night
A misty rain is falling
Etiolating street lights
On this road that I wend
I've come to the end
Of a long episode
So it's goodbye to an old life
I'm once more on the road
With prospects yet unclear
The question is now
Where do I go from here
My possessions are few
Close ties have all been broken
I'm starting anew
From a home shared with friends
To lone basement descent
Now what does it all bode
So make it one for a new life
I'm once more on the road
I should feel sad this dark night
But though not at my brightest
I sense it's alright
Through the mist of yet-to-be
I see my life extend
With deep curiosity
I may rescind some old dreams
Change my routines
And revalue my code
And make it one for a new life
I'm once more on the road
Now goodbye Pimlico
Hello London East End
And on goes the show
Thence the route is unknown
And that's part of the game
Should not be cast in stone
As in song not yet scribed
I assert: "I'll survive!"
Though I need a reload
So make me one for a new life
I'm once more on the road
