lyrics

I’m riding in fast to the headwind
Riding in fast
I’ve found if I just keep on pedaling
It isn't as hard
There's no one out here after dark
Just you and me, darl
I'm riding in fast at the headwind
Riding in fast

I have to sit down on the side ‘til
The pain settles down
Always the same old affliction
Around and around
The light in my eyes turns to grey
Then comes back alive
I have to sit down on the side ‘til
The pain settles down

Ooh

The cloud on the hill started parting
I pick myself up
I could have been there for an hour
Or maybe just half
I have the choice to keep riding
Or head back to town
The clouds on the hill started parting
I pick myself up

Ooh

The rainbow has moved from the river
The night settles in
A fire is keeping the housewarm
My family within
Piano in tune just enough
To keep me playing
The rainbow has moved from the river
The night settles in

Ooh

The fire at dawn, always gone
Is mine to light up
My stomach will only stay empty
If I let it
The shower is there for the dirty
The tired, the clean
The fire at dawn, always gone
Is mine to light up

Ooh
