There`s a rugged road — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

There`s a rugged road on the prairie
Stretchin` all across the last frontier
There a stranger strives solitary
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin`
Come on, the light is gone
Hope`s slowly dyin`
Tell me how you come ridin` through
Still surveyin` the miles yet to run
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come

She can blaze a trail, through the rumblin`
Dims her guiding light to just a spark
When the hour is low, she comes tumblin`
When the moon is high she gives her heart

Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin`
Come on, the light is gone
Hope`s slowly dyin`
Tell me how you come ridin` through
Gainin` steady till this round is won
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come

People far below chasin`pleasures
Offer her directions on the run
Prophets on the path offertreasures
Though she`s mighty hungry she takes none

Roll on, roll on, roll on
Night birds are flyin`
Come on, the light is gone
Hope`s slowly dyin`
Tell me how you come ridin` through
Blindly faithful but followin` none
On the long & lonely road to kingdom come

When the sun goes down at the right time
She comes windin` through the purple haze
Just a feather`s touch in the nighttime
But it`ll color all my weary days

Shinin` finer than this earthly sun
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
