I know I've been all down and depressing these last entries, but I'm not really depressed or anything. I'm just stuck in a rut. Meh, I feel pretty good, actually, good - not great, but even if someone has everything, something still can bum one out. In the words of Joe Walsh: I can't complain, but sometimes I still do

Anyway, I wrote this song in half an hour in 2007 when I had made it back from a bar back on my Island of Bornholm (Go look it up on Google Maps/Earth.. I'll wait.)

Back? Alright, here's the song. You'll just get it the way I wrote it down verbatim:

verse ~
Em D G (...)
C D G
---------------

all through the night there's a party
you know your place in this
you play guitar and act all smarty
and all the people love the hits

CHORUS
but at the end of the show
you are all alone
and you walk down the road
all alone

oh, the moon is out tonight
it gives everything a thoughtful light
walking on alone
you think about the things to come
and all the things that have passed you on

another night, another party
again you fire up the show
and all the girls think you're a special one
until you finish up their song

CHORUS
And at the end of the show
you are all alone
and you walk down the road
all alone

you're thinking that it might be different tonight
after all it was your birthright
and all the crowd is getting fired up again
and down there in the corner is a group of your friends

they sing along for the first five songs
but then they party on their own
they leave you outside in the background
like any other dull and arbitrary sound

CHORUS
And at the end of the show
you are all alone
and you walk down the road
all alone

the people in the bar are your friends tonight
but tomorrow, they too will be gone
the crowd and your friends are all away again
and you walk on down the same old road you've walked through this whole song

CHORUS
And at the end of the show
you are all alone
and you walk down on that lonely road
that moonlit road

Yes, at the end of the show
you are all alone
and you walk down on that lonesome road
that moonlit road
that tear-stained road
all alone
