Back on the r oad once more
And wh o knows what will li e in store
For you, dear est Anne
Better the hi ghway code
Than b eing secure be hind closed doors
And dr eaming, deare st Anne
Carry your faith like a je wel among thi eves
May yo ur soul shine out brightly
And qu ite politely
You'll bring them to t heir knee s, dear A nne
Long may the road and the wind and the r ain still be behind you
Til you chang e your mind again, dearest Anne
Wish I was with you walking by yo ur side
Wish I was young aga in to see it through your eyes
But I'm old a nd I've relin quished, near ly exti nguished
The bur ning need for surp rises in my life
Long may the road and the wind and the r ain still be behind you
Til yo u chang e your mind, deares t Anne

Wish I was with you walking by yo ur side
Wish I was young again to see it throug h your eyes
But I'm old a nd I've relin quished, near ly extinguish ed
The burning need for surprises in my life
As long as the road is not y our guide
And yo u realize tha t's just an e scape, deares t Anne
