Put a bend in the road I’m too lost and tired To see where I’m going What I left behind
And I’m moving so slow Don’t know when I’ll arrive So put a bend in the road I’m growing tired of straight lines
I set off for the shore That was far less away From the ones I adored In the place I was raised
And I roam down the road Just to watch it go by And when nowhere is love Maybe nowhere am I
Everyone needs a touch Or a shoulder for crying They say love is a crutch I say love is blind
And that’s all that she needed That I could not supply With a bend in the road Put it out of my mind
Met a strange little girl Who was everything I ever dreamed I could love or be loved by
So put a bridge or a hill Or a forest of pines Or a river of blue I can run alongside
And I’ll sleep when it’s night I'll follow all the signs Just put a bend in the road I’m growing tired of straight lines Put a bend in the road I’m growing tired of straight lines
