Stay the Road Songtext
von Glen Hansard

Tired, tired eyes look up and see
All you′ve done, the path you've come,
The things that you′ve achieved.
And when you're doubting
I hope you'll trust in me
Tired, tired eyes look up and see
I′ve been mining down a dark hole,
I′ve been mining in the rocks
For a golden seam she's got buried deep
Some where inside of her.
I′ve been working for your wonder,
I've been mining hard and long,
And I will not fold; I′m gonna find that gold,
Now my work has just begun
Come on, pilgrim, won't you stay the road?
Put that distance from your mind,
Don′t you let it show
Well, it's just a ride, and I'm at your side
If you didn′t know
Come on, pilgrim, won′t you stay the road?


I've been mining down a dark hole,
I′ve been mining in the rocks
For a heart of gold that can't be bought or sold
She′s got there inside of her.
I've been working for your wonder,
I′ve been mining hard and long,
And I won't give up; I'm gonna fill my cup,
Now my work has just begun
Shelter, shelter bell ring out for all below,
Keep your doorway open wide,
Give us somewhere to go.
And when we′re full of doubt,
And we don′t know what about,
Don't you tell us no.
Shelter, shelter bell ring out for all below
I′ve been mining down a dark hole,
I've been mining in the rocks
For a heart of gold that can′t be bought or sold
She's got there inside of her.
I′ve been working for your wonder,
I've been mining hard and long
And I won't give up; I′m gonna fill my cup,
Now my work has just begun
Tired, tired eyes look up and see
All you′ve done, the path you've come,
The things that you′ve achieved,
And when you're doubting
I hope you′ll trust in me,
Tired, tired eyes look up and see
