Nanci Griffith - Brave Companion Of The Road lyrics

(Nanci Griffith) Where are you going there? With your suitcase by the back porch stairs With my heart in your hand In this cold December wind again The cafes and bars are closed The Christmas lights are veiled in snow Tell me where are you going? My brave companion of the road Chorus It seems to me that you are lonelier Than I've ever seen you be Oh, it's plain to see That you've gone crazier Than you ever thought you'd be When the lights go down And the dance floor is empty And the crowd is going home I will be waiting For my brave companion of the road Some days come up roses Some days just come and go Some nights are so ruhtless That you can't recall the day before This love has seen better days Than home for these holidays 'cause this love has miles for sense of place Oh, my brave compnaion of the road Chorus Tell me, where are you going? My brave companion of the road
