Roadside Flowers
Winter Hours

Following the footstepsnThat you gave me, I walked out alone,nHighway stretching out in front of mennThere I saw the billboardsnAnd the smoke from the refinerynWhere the open sky had used to bennPassing through the small townsnWith their clapboard houses beaten downnI could hear the distant church bell ringnnThere, beneath the maple treesnIt all comes rushing back to menA simple thing forgotten long agonLong agonLong agonI heard those bells toll.nnI walk alonenI am on a lonely roadnI walk alonenJust see the roadside flowers, look how they have grownnnI have been in cities wherenThe multitudes enveloped menStations and the depots felt so coldnnLooked up at the city spires,nThey couldn't build them any higher,nA giant's teeth were clenched around my soulnnI walked along the riversidenTo watch the changing of the tidesnTryin' to find some treasure in this placennThen my eyes were opened widenWhen I saw the blood-red tidenAnd the black cloud hanging over menOver menOver menHanging over mennI walk alonenI am on the lonely roadnI walk alonenTo see the roadside flowers, look how they have grownnnHey, heynnUphill the road of factoriesnReminding me of battlefieldsnWhere our brightest promises were lostnnOvercome by fire and steel,nGroaning for humanity,nA thousand voices drowning in that roadnnWhile, this is Mr. Harriman -nHe built his stakes on railroad blood,nRolling in his comforts and his spoilsnnWith the wind, we headed westnTaking little time restnFelt the prairies burning under menUnder menUnder menBurning under mennI walk alonenI am on a lonely roadnI walk alonenJust see the roadside flowers, look how they have grownnnI walk alonenI am on a lonely roadnI walk alonenTo see the roadside flowers, look how they have grownnnYeah (I am on a lonely road)n[repeat chorus]
