The Waterboys
Long Strange Golden Road
[Verse 1]
I was longing to be wooed
I was ready to be humbled
By the words that you had written
By the syllables you mumbled

Yeah, I was ready in my heart
To have my heart invaded
By the fervor of your passion
Yes, I came to be persuaded

But when I heard your ragged voice
Something switched in my perception
And I knew I was the victim
Of a beautiful deception

All my once exact beliefs
Like tangled threads unraveled
I walked out stunned and liberated
And so began my travels

[Chorus]
Keep the river on your right
And the highway at your shoulder
And the front line in your sights, Pioneer
Keep your eye on the road
Remember what you told her
This is all in code, my dear
