Anne Clark - Hope Road Lyrics
So these are circumstancesLeading to my sorry taleI was in a town I didn't knowI'd arrieved there by railIt all began a week befire -The joys of Saturday Night -An invite to a partyOr watching The Price Is RightOpting for a soireeFor the first time in a yearMixed badly with the revellersMixed Bacardi, wine and beerThe room moved back and forwardsThe dancers did the sameFound refuge in a cornerThat's when he asked my nameWell this is very nice, I thoughtSmiling through the hazeAs we talked of Auguste RodinThrough to Harold Pinter's playsSaid he played pianoSaid his name was SteveWhy shouldN't I believeThat he really lived so far awayHad to make a move for homeScribbled down his addressSaid he didn't have a phoneWould I like to come to dinnerOn Friday of next weekTo this i said I'd love toAs he kissed me on the cheekThat night I felt so happyExcited through and throughSee ! The company of strangersDoesn't always leave you blueStumbled home contentedLike a cat that got the creamWake up a little wearyBut I knew it was no dreamThe next few days were auyiounsWhat could I find towaer ?What happens if i arriveAnd there is no Hope Road there ?My friend said don't ba sillyNo one does things like thatNow will you get a move onAnd take off that stupid hat !Made sure I set out earlyMade sure I caught the trainGot out at the right stationThen of course came down the rainFollowed the directionsExcactly as he saidAsked people if they new Hope RoadBut they just walked on aheadI turned left at the junctionTook the fork off to the rightStraight over at the crossroadsThen down to the traffic lightsmust have walked those streets for hoursin the dark and in the coldBefore I realyy could acceptThere was no place called Hope RoadSo here I am alone againIndoors by myselfThe TV, plants, books and IAll nearly on the shelfNext time I'll be more cautionsNext time I Won't be fooledIt's another of those basic thingsYou're never taught at schoolLet this be a warningAs you wander through the worldIt makes no difference who you areBe you boy or be you girlBe very , very carefulWhen people seems so niceIt's not how that it's expensiveLater on you pay the priceThere's no Hope Road
