LYRICS:

You travel alone, the road is long, inside your head you keep a song

To pass the time and ease the pain, what gets you down is the rain

The space in your heart left by friends leaves you chilled by the wind

as each chapter ends

 

She said, you can stay in my garden; you can stay there for free

If it's cold outside, come in and stay with me

 

The names and faces seem the same, but the memories of the places remain

Like a friend that you longed to know from a time long ago

But you pedal on not sure of the way or of the place that you’ll have to stay

You just hope it's for free

 

She said, you can stay in my garden; you can stay there for free

If it's cold outside, come in and stay with me

 

You can stay with me where the ground is flat, it's a perfect place to build your house

And always, remember that you can come inside where it is warm

Tonight, with me you need not be alone

 

After a day in the rain and cold, tonight with me you'll be at home

 

You can stay in my garden; you can stay there for free

If it rains outside, if the wind’s too strong to hide, come in and stay with me

 

People pass you by when you ride along, like chapters in a book or the words in this song

They’ll give you shelter when winds are strong, so I’m glad to stay but I can’t stay long

There’s more riding, I’ve still got more writing to do

The space in your heart from the people you meet, they start off as strangers on trails and the streets

You hear their stories as you write yours, from strangers to friends, to strangers again

I still miss them, pages in my story

The road is long but you pedal on, the friends you meet become the song
