Song For The Road Lyrics
Well the day casts down
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the North
And the sun sets fire to the heavens
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old
And we are no where, but man, we're alright
So you can keep your belief in whatever
I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
While poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you
And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice
Now I don't like using words like forever
But I will love you til the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again
I know someday this all will be over
And it's hard to say what most I will miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the North
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
And I'll sail over this countryside with new friends and old
And we are no where, but man, we're alright
I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
While poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice
But I will love you til the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again
And it's hard to say what most I will miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this
I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose this

This song is simply amazing. It completely blows me away.
So you can keep your belief in whatever I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo While poets try to engineer definitions of love You know all I can think of is you
WOW.
Now I don't like using words like forever But I will love you til the end of today And in the morning when I remember everything that you are I know I'll fall for you over again
I know someday this all will be over And it's hard to say what most I will miss Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive And I'll choose this, I'll choose this, I'll choose.
I love this song, especially the lyrics, absolutely astonishing. Does anyone know where I can get a non-live version of this song?
riley490, as far as I know this song hasn't been recorded yet, but it'll probably be on the next album when it's eventually released :-)

Amazing. Im trying my best to get the word about David Ford and his music. I first heard this song on Last Call with Carson Daily.
Im still trying to pinpoint the EXACT meaning behind it. It seems to have multiple meanings at one time.
fucking wow
When a song is able to capture a few elements of love in a completely original way, it grabs a hold of me and won't let go. People have hit the nail on the head: "While poets try to engineer definitions of love, You know all I can think of is you" We all know how true this is.
