Lhasa De Sela - Anywhere On This Road

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
