about

"Saturday Road Ahead-- this song is so powerful! Same effect on me emotionally (as the title track 'Coming Home to Stay'). I put my box on "repeat" the first time I heard it, sang to it six times in a row. [Lyric excerpt: I see the sky open up before me / I see my road is soon to bend / I couldn't face, no I couldn't face that again / But I see the time is coming for a change... I thought I saw myself, I turned as if to say / you'd better pick up the pieces / before they blow away...]" - Van Casey, album review

"Highlights include ‘Saturday Road Ahead’ and I imagined myself standing at the top of a cliff in a tiny village in Iceland in November with aurora borealis bringing the sky to life. " - Dave Urwin, Live Music Scene - album review

lyrics

I see the sky open up before me
I see my road is soon to bend
I couldn't face, no I couldn't face that again
But I see the time is coming for a change

And I saw that in my mind there were two routes I could go
One leads toward the place that I can never know
The road is barred ahead and I don't know the reason why
But others are crowded on that way
They'll soon all pass me by

And I thought I heard a voice
That said "I know you"
I should not have thought
That I always knew the way in which to go

But how?
How could I have seen the lie behind those eyes?
But when I look back now
There's really no surprise

And I feel so alone by myself again
It's Saturday afternoon
And it's too bad that I've no plans tonight
No one to see, no where to go
Except for straight on to find out
What I already know

And I thought I saw myself, I turned as if to say
You'd better pick up the pieces
Before they blow away

And I thought I heard a voice
That said "I know you"
