lyrics

winding road
when will you straighten for me
when will you let me see beyond the bend

beyond the place I stand
beyond the ground at hand
where the river runs straight to the sea

it's a long way home
when you've got no sense of which way's north
runnin' circles again

all I ask is for a little guiding touch
don't leave me lost to my mind's own clutch

winding road, when will you straighten for me?
when will let me see where I'm to end

what I'm working toward
what I'm living for
what all this senselessness will come to mean

oh my empty heart, it can take no more of these false starts
leave you worse than before
listlessness, it has a face that erases mine
leaves no trace

winding road
when will you straighten for me
it's so hard to see where i'm to go

bound by the place I'm from
bound to the way I've come
waiting for some wish to set me free

…

winding road, when will you straighten for me
when will you let me see beyond the bend

beyond the place I stand
beyond the ground at hand
where the river runs straight to the sea

where the stars show clear through the trees
where all fears are taken to the breeze
when I will be
as I am
to be
