Crooked Roads

I walk a crooked road to get where I'm going.
To get where I'm going I walk a crooked road.
And only when I'm looking back, I see the straight and narrow.
I see the straight and narrow when I walk a crooked road.

I sing a lonesome song to anyone who'll listen.
To anyone who'll listen I'll sing my lonesome song.
And when I hear you singing too the sorrow sounds so hopeful.
The sorrow sounds so hopeful when I sing my lonesome song.

And a lonesome song will be my true companion,
when all else has abandoned for singing on their own.
And a lonesome song with fill my days with gladness,
make joy out of sadness when I bring my lonesome song
to you...

I love with all my heart, there is no way of stopping
I have no way of stopping, I just love with all my heart.
Through the broken and the beautiful the bad news and the good news
the bad news and the good news is I love with all my heart.

And a loving heart will be my true companion
when all else has abandonded for loving of their own.
And a loving heart will fill my days with gladness,
make joy out of sadness when I bring my loving heart
to you...

And I long to be a happy man, In this life that I'm living
In this life that I'm living, I long to be a happy man.
When the silence turns to stillness I know I have the making
I know I have the making to be one happy man

And a happy man will be my true companion
when all else has abandoned for happy own their own
And a happy man will fill my day with gladness
make joy out of sadness when I bring this happy man
to you...

I walk a crooked road to get where I'm going
To get where I'm going I walk a crooked road...

This song speaks my new drive in life, a new philosophy giving me the strength to live each day the best I can. Though I know my path may not seem straight when I look back there isn't one thing I would change for it is what makes me, me. Usually when I learn a song it takes me more than a few times to memorize the words and learn the tune. These words, when they don't flood my eyes with tears, flow off my tongue with ease. I used to work to straighten my road, now I plan on taking every curve and enjoying each step with a smile parting my lips.
