chorus |
You were the bird that sang up the sun |
| |
You were the rock that made the river run |
| |
You were the tide that taught the ocean to foam |
| |
You Were the Road that led me home |
| |
|
1. |
Without your shoulder to lean on |
| |
I don't stand as tall |
| |
Without your hand to guide me |
|
I'm afraid that I will fall |
| |
|
chorus |

|
2. |
Without your arms to hold me |
| |
I can't sleep for the cold |
| |
Without you eyes to see me |
| |
The mirror, oh the mirror says I'm old |
| |
|
| bridge |
Independence — that's for youngsters |
| |
It means loneliness to me |
| |
I lost the grace of your loving embrace |
| |
Now I don't know who to be |
| |
|
chorus |

| coda |
You Were the Road that led me home |
| |
You Were the Road — the road that led me home |

"I never got along with my father. When I cleaned out my mother's house, I found a treasure: a collection of hundreds of letters my father sent home from Europe, when he was in the Army during WW II.Most of his letters were in poem form. I spent most of a year scanning, transcribing and footnoting a book of his letters. In the process, I got to know a side of him I never saw, and I saw the man my mother loved. This is a love song to him, from her." — San
