  • It's a dark road
    And a dark way that leads to my house
    And the word says you're never gonna find me there, oh no
    I've got an open door
    It didn't get there by itself
    It didn't get there by itself

    There's a feelin'
    But you're not feelin' it at all
    There's a meaning
    But you're not listening anymore
    I look at that open road
    I'm gonna walk there by myself


    And if you catch me I might try to run away
    You know I can't be here too long
    And if you let me I might try to make you stay
    Seems you never realize a good thing till it's gone

    Maybe I'm still searchin' but I don't know what it means

    All the fires of destruction are still burnin' in my dreams
    There's no water that can wash away this longin' to come clean

    Hey yeah yeah

    I can't find the joy within in my soul
    It's just sadness takin' hold
    I wanna come in from the cold
    And make myself renewed again (I wanna go livin' I wanna come renewed)
    It takes strength to live this way (oohh)
    The same old madness everyday (nooo)
    I wanna kick these blues away (kick away now)
    I wanna learn to live again

    Hey hey hey
    Hey hey hey

    It's a dark road
    And a dark way that leads to my house
    And the word says
    You're never gonna find me there oh no
    I've got an open door
    It didn't get there by itself oh
    It didn't get there by itself Writer/s: ANNIE LENNOX
