An Open Road Lyrics by Michael Dunstan

In The Grand Scheme

0

I want to wake in the morning
To the sounds of the river flowing
A sunset walk to the inlet
At 5pm when all the woodfires have been lit
An open road headed deep south in the heart of winter
The air is cold and clean there, and life seems a little simpler
Time slows here, we don’t need much
Time slows here, we don’t need much
The main street is busy
But in a good way I promise
The locals stop to greet one another
And you can see it in their eyes they mean it
Sip a beer on the back porch
And watch the evening thunderstorms crawl
And at night, they paint the skies
Each flash a unique shape to fill my eye
I want to rise in the morning
To the sounds of that ocean roaring
I want to swim at last light
And bathe in all the beauty of this life
An open road headed deep south in the heart of winter
The air is cold and clean there, and life seems a little simpler
Time slows here, we don’t need much
Time slows here, we don’t need much
Well it’s all a little bigger than us
But it sure is nice to admire
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing but each other
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing but each other
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing
Maybe all we ever needed was all around us
I want to wake in the morning
To the sounds of the river flowing
A sunset walk to the inlet
At 5pm when all the woodfires have been lit
An open road headed deep south in the heart of winter
The air is cold and clean there and life seems a little simplerAn open road headed deep south in the heart of winter
I know it’s cold, I’ve been there
But I assure you, it’s heaven
Maybe all we ever needed was nothing
