Road of Solid Gold by The Lost Trades Lyrics

[Verse]
There’s a man with fire in his eyes, a rare sight seldom seen
Always wandering. Feet keep on moving away from mediocrity
He said ‘I never stay long in the same old places they’re always getting me down’
‘but for a while now I might just chance it if you’d like to keep me around.’

[Verse]
He likes to visit in the dead of night, he likes to leave before the sun
Bags packed and strapped to his motorbike. One more kiss and then he’s gone
He said ‘I never stay long, but I would like it if, I saw more of your face’
But I won’t hold him to his airs and graces I know his feet will find a way

[Chorus]
It’s a long way to go
When you travel alone
But the long winding road
Is solid gold
Solid gold

[Verse]
He talks about when he’ll settle down. Maybe a house in a small Welsh town
But with nearly forty years in his furrowed brow, I see no sign of any roots
He said ‘I’d like to stay longer, but I can’t help it if, my feet go wandering instead’
‘I feel better with the past behind me and the horizon ahead’
[Chorus]
It’s a long way to go
When you travel alone
But the long winding road
Is solid gold
Solid gold

[Chorus]
It’s a long way to go
When you travel alone
But the long winding road
Is solid gold
Solid gold
