From the recording The Sunset Sessions Vol. 1
We've become so serious and divided - have we forgotten how to ignore the static and just enjoy the ride (and the music) ?
Lyrics
Around the Bend
How did you find this road, my friend
Did you see your way clear
Now that it’s gone around the bend
Where does it go from here?
We’ve travelled miles along
A highway that’s divided
Left or right or right or wrong
How is that decided?
How do we get turned around
What is left to fear
Where’s the common ground
Can we get there from here?
What have we left behind
Words left unspoken
How do you change your mind?
The connection’s broken.
Can’t we enjoy the view? Crack open the window
Let the breeze blow through – Turn up the radio!
Where does this road end, my friend
Can we see our way clear
Now that we’ve gone around the bend
Where do we go from here?
If we just close our eyes
What’s left to learn
How do we recognize
The point of no return?
Can’t we enjoy the view? Crack open the window,
Let the breeze blow through – Turn up the radio!
