Doll By Doll - Main Travelled Roads 1981 <br /> <br />I dressed you in the morning <br />for a journey to the past <br />We signed our names in shadows <br />that I promised you would last <br />Main travelled roads before us <br />passing slowly out of sight <br />The haunted valley chorus <br />Sweeping softly through the night <br /> <br />The last four men were waiting <br />for their call to take the stage <br />And when the curtains opened <br />they stood like lovers in a cage <br />The crowd in perfect silence <br />closed their eyes to hide their shame <br />The dressing rooms are empty <br />and nobody is to blame <br /> <br />I walked through fields of honour <br />where the gentle earth had bled <br />The young men are still fighting <br />and the forest tracks are red <br />The hotel lifts are broken <br />and the trains are running slow <br />The blind men at reception <br />never miss a single show <br /> <br />Main travelled roads behind me <br />and a white bird in the sky <br />A secret sign to show me <br />where the ocean comes to die <br />I arose and left you <br />sleeping in your silent room <br />Eternal is the warrior <br />who finds beauty in his wounds
