under cover of night
words and music by Arlo Guthrie Truth is you've been waiting so long You're ripe and so insane Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain How long will you sit there wondering What's happening to your heart Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start CHORUS: I'll take to the road in a little while Under cover of night You come or you stay Whatever seems right I ain't looking for friends or lovers Ain't looking for a pot of gold Had it all when I was younger - It got old Who will leave this world of sorrow Who will die to all the fears Kowning I'll be gone tommorow - Gone for years CHORUS Somewhere the sun's just rising And the road comes in to view There's a wanderer freed from dying - Could be you Who will pay the price for freedom Learn the disciplines of the road Many tried but few succeed - So I'm told
