Open Road (Album Version)-Earl Klugh

[00:00.00]Open Road [00:22.69]My life, is extraordinairy bare, [00:28.29]I fought the fear and chased the pain. [00:33.47]My life, doesn't need to be explained, [00:38.90]I chose to walk this life as one. [00:43.89]Sometimes, as I live upon my island, [00:49.53]Cut off from emotion and its pain. [00:50.00]Written by Gary Barlow [00:54.76]That's when, I am tempted by the waters, [01:00.16]Waters that can take me far away. [01:04.44]Chorus: So I just keep on walking down this open road, [01:10.83]Hoping someone, somewhere needs me. [01:15.14]So I just keep on walking down this open road, [01:21.57]Talking to the man who knows me, [01:26.38]Yes he knows me, the man is me. [01:32.29]My life, was once full of people's faces, [01:37.85]Bought to me by love, which isn't strange. [01:42.92]My life, had the goodness of blue waters, [01:48.34]A day's a day for all I used to say. [01:53.64]Sometimes, I can sit and cry my heart out, [01:59.15]Drowning in my autocratic ways. [02:04.53]That's when, I am tempted by the waters, [02:09.87]Waters that can take me far away. [02:14.14]Chorus: So I just keep on walking down this open road, [02:20.64]Hoping someone, somewhere needs me. [02:24.91]So I just keep on walking down this open road, [02:31.22]Talking to the man who knows me, [02:36.10]Yes he knows me, the man is me. [03:25.05]My life, is now full of people's faces, [03:30.30]Within the light of change I pulled away. [03:35.63]My life, shows that no man is an island, [03:40.71]I've exchanhed the piece of life, I couldn't wait. [03:45.43]Now you won't see me walking down that open road, [03:51.71]I've found someone now who needs me. [03:56.22]No, you won't see me walking down that open road, [04:02.03]I've found at last the man who knows me. [04:07.22]Yes, he knows me and the man is me, [04:14.44]and the man is me, the man is me.
