This frozen road winds on past nameless towns
river of black carved through a desert of white
Promises of silver lead me from the hearth 
Lifeless side roads lead past laden trees.

Breath of ice takes its toll, my chariot
Only an hour gone, still four to go
We clamber onto hired wheels back through the white curtain
No line to guide us, only shadows of steel.

Life is the song and the show must go on and on
Make [bad word] [bad word]      
Life is the song and the road goes on and on
Paint this song any colour but blue.

Eyes ears and hands reach out, meet the sound
Warm in the evening glow, the [bad word] fire
The gift is given, the seed is sown
Now back through darkness to the light of home.

Life is the song and the show must go on and on
Make [bad word] [bad word]      
Life is the song and the road goes on and on
Paint this song any colour but blue.
