Cat Stevens - Roadsinger Lyrics






Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat
People stood and stared then closed their doors as he passed
He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans
Then the panting dogs began to bark as the Roadsinger sang

Where do you go, where do you go, when hearts are closed?
When a friend becomes a stranger, nobody wants to know

Where do you go, where do you go, when the world turns dark?
And the light of truth is blown out and the roads are blocked?

He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks
A child's face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back
Behind a misty glass, on a windowpane
A little finger drew a perfect heart and a name

Where do you go, where do you go, in a world filled with fright?
Only a song to warm you through the night

Where do you go, where do you go, after lies are told?
And the light of truth is blown out and the night is cold?

Roadsinger rode on to another land
Though the people spoke a different tongue it understand
They showed him how to share and took him by the hand
Showed him the path to Heaven through the desert sand

Where do you go, where do you go, to find happiness
In a world filled with hatred, cheers?
Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares?
And everybody's lost looking for theirs?

    Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat

    He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans
    Then the panting dogs began to bark as the roadsinger sang

    Where do you go? Where do you go when hearts are closed?
    When a friend becomes a stranger nobody wants to know
    Where do you go? Where do you go when the world turns dark?
    And the light of truth is blown out and the roads are blocked

    He stopped by a stall between the barrels and sacks
    A child's face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back
    Behind a misty glass on a windowpane

    Where do you go? Where do you go after lies are told?
    And the light of truth is blown out and the night is cold

    They showed him how to share and took him by the hand

    Where do you go? Where do you go to find happiness?
    In a world filled with hatred, tears
    Where do you go? Where do you go if no one cares?
    And everybody's lost looking for theirs.

    I love this song! This is me - for one thing - literally in some ways. This is my favorite song of Yusuf's.

    A.... T....

    Yusuf, your music gets more interesting all the time.

    A.... T....

    That's great 😀

  26. C.... ....

    Absolutely love his music! Timeless.

  27. J.... L....

    Thanks to his son for bringing an acoustic guitar back into their house and started to play it...because that's what motivated Yusuf to become Cat Stevens' voice once again. Welcome back.

  28. D.... H....

    I love your music in the 1970's and I love your music Now, Thank you and God Bless you.

  29. O.... C....

    polvo en el viento

  30. h.... a....

    Where do you go , when the light of truth is blown out.?

  31. R.... W....

    🎶 Where do you go? Where do you go in a world filled with fright?

  32. D.... L....

    Love the song and the video was perfect.

  33. M.... J....

    WOW This is incredibly cool

  34. G.... S....

    Maravilloso

  35. P.... C....

    How many Iriqi and Afghan souls were burnt out by the American monster? Huh? Wake me up when the Afghan Army and the Iraqi navy was gonna land on Cape Cod!

    God Damn these evil people in their dungeons in Washington who make these wars.

  36. S.... K....

    Only a song to warm you though the night.

  37. P.... I....

    This song might have been written when Yusuf was denied entry into the US.  Thank God they realized they had made a mistake and took him off the no-flying list.  If I was Yusuf I would have been SUPER mad! but you know him, he is all forgiving...

    P.... I....

    Actually, after not being allowed into the US, he wrote the song "Boots and Sand": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIOCdPb8fKM

    P.... I....

    and a few more songs that touch on that time frame. Almost every song he wrote has truths in it of his real self/feelings/life. An interview he gave a comment about > when he looks back and listens to songs he wrote in the past, he realizes now things about himself that he did not really know or understand about himself back then. But some how it made it into his songs. [An amazing man, amazing mind, amazing voice.]

  38. F.... R....

    Merci Mister Yusuf,
    Vous avez toujours les Bonnes paroles, pour toutes les situations! BRAVO... Belle chanson <3<3<3 ;-)))

  39. S.... A....

    A man after my own heart

  40. T.... ....

    It's cold now in Palestine. And so many homeless, so many orphaned. No room for them in most of what was their own country.
    Think of them when you hear this song.

    T.... ....

    Tigger How do we actually STOP the intolerable suffering within the Muslin world. Most people just want peace and the chance to care for their families. No matter what race, colour or creed, there are always a few who manipulate for their own cause and advantage.
    Brilliant Yousef - a man of real peace.

  41. P.... C....

    #GoodLuck for Tuesday, will be tough, #BoxingDayTest will be normality I hope for all Players! A hard time for #Families, #Players with no #Redesign to #Helmets? What is going on in that perspective?? No information?

  42. P.... C....

    #India and #Australia #TestCricket, may good Luck and Good Fortune be with both sides, #BoxingDayTest will be some normality! Who is redesigning the #Left and #Right side #CricketHelmets? They need improvement from an #Ergonomics viewpoint!



  43. S.... ....

    The song and that clip of the little boy crying at the end breaks my heart into a million pieces...

  44. M.... M....

    Just love him, he has a unique beauty in his art of music, emotions and words

  45. B.... D....

    ah, that voice.  how i missed you!  welcome back, old friend!

  46. B.... K....

    Cat Stevens is more peaceful than a handful of elderly people.

  47. W.... ....

    This man inspires.  Rejoice, God's Kingdom will come.

  48. I.... P....

    magic sound

  49. 2.... ....

    if only this song of unity was the pinnacle!!! so much enjoyment in the world!!!

  50. t.... ....

  54. H.... J....

    big love from Kurdistan :)

    H.... J....

    Hendren Jalal there's no such as a place on the world :)) I guess you mean a place which in another galaxy is

    H.... J....

    While some people don't recognize territories only governmental states. Iraq does respect a territory > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan [ps as a USA citizen I am aware the USA has its own version of territories ! ] Territories of the United States are sub-national administrative divisions directly overseen by the United States (U.S.) federal government. Unlike U.S. states and Native tribes that have sovereignty alongside the federal government, territories are without sovereignty. BUT PALISTINE > the broadest definition of Palestine has been that adopted by the British Mandate of Palestine, which includes present-day Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The narrowest definition used in contemporary politics embraces only the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. > Palestine is recognized as a country by 136 out of the 193 United Nations member states.The Declaration of Independence and the Proclamation of the State of Palestine took place on November 15, 1988. with East Jerusalem as the designated capital. [ Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Palestine.] Jews did not invade Jewish ZIONISTS did. Comparative to saying German people were not all Nazi's. What is sadly true ,,, Zionist's have very similar type of thinking, like the German Nazi party had.

  55. c.... ....

    Mashallah, plein d'amour et de bonté comme toujours

  56. R.... G....

    I am a sixty seven years young man, drowning in nostalgia!

    Cat was always one of my favourite artists from "back in the day"

    I recently bought all of his albums on CD as (don't laugh) I have them on 8 track!

    My daughter got me this one and I shed more than a few tears, thinking of happier and better days.
