Lyrics Playoff - Back on the road

Back on the road

(Inspired by the novel “In a Strange Room” by South African writer Damon Galgut)

Woken up by a Sunday bell
I’m checking out of a cheap hotel
I’m setting off for another place again
Which hemisphere I can’t decide
But I keep on walking day and night
To the mysteries of a brand new day

If you try it once, you will never rest
You’ll be flying south, you’ll be walking west
Humming quietly on your way…

Chorus:

I’m back on the road
I’m back on the road
I’ve gotta cherish my way all along
My day is unknown
My place is unknown
I’m gonna check them when I’m finally home

The Grand Canyon or the Stonehenge
Marble Caves and the Bronze Bench
A traveller is never satisfied
I’ll pick a stone at the abandoned place
I’ll film the way a stranger prays
I’ll learn the language of a tribe

But every night when I lie in bed
I’ll dream about my distant land
I’ll miss my sisters all the time

Chorus.
