Dearest Anne
When You're In Love (1995)
Back on the road once more
And who knows what will lie in store
For you, dearest Anne
Better the highway code
Than being secure behind closed doors
And dreaming, dearest Anne
Carry your faith like a jewel among thieves
May your soul shine out brightly
And quite politely
You'll bring them to their knees, dear Anne
Long may the road and the wind and the rain still be
behind you
Til you change your mind again, dearest Anne
Wish I was with you walking by your side
Wish I was young again to see it through your eyes
But I'm old and I've relinquished, nearly extinguished
The burning need for surprises in my life
Long may the road and the wind and the rain still be
behind you
Til you change your mind, dearest Anne
Long may the road and wind be with you in your need
And the changing seasons
And the freedom
To believe the truth they breathe
As long as the road is not your guide
And you realize that it's just an escape, dearest Anne
Wish I was with you walking by your side
Wish I was young again to see it through your eyes
But I'm old and I've relinquished, nearly extinguished
The burning need for surprises in my life
As long as the road is not your guide
And you realize that's just an escape, dearest Anne
