Brave Companion Of The Road - Nanci Griffith

Where are you going there? 
With your suitcase by the back porch stairs 
With my heart in your hand 
In this cold December wind again 
The cafes and bars are closed 
The Christmas lights are veiled in snow 
Tell me, where are you going? 
My brave companion of the road 

[Chorus:] 
It seems to me that you are lonelier 
Than I've ever seen you be 
Oh, it's plain to see 
That you've gone crazier 
Than you ever thought you'd be 
When the lights go down 
And the dance floor is empty 
And the crowd is going home 
... I will be waiting 
For my brave companion of the road 

Some days come up roses 
Some days just come and go 
Some nights are so ruthless 
That you can't recall the day before 
This love has seen better days 
Than home for these holidays 
Cuz this love has miles for sense of place 
Oh, my brave companion of the road 

[Chorus] 

Tell me, where are you going? 
My brave companion of the road
