Lyrics Gary Barlow

Gary Barlow

Open Road

My life, is extraordinary bare

I fought the fear and chased the pain

My life, doesn't need to be explained

I chose to walk the line as one

Sometimes, as I live upon my island

Cut off from emotion and its pain

Ohhhh that's when, I am tempted by the waters

The waters that I can take me far away

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road

Hoping someone somewhere needs me

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road

Talking to the man who knows me

Yes he knows me

The man is me

My life, was once full of people's faces

Brought to me by love which isn't strange

Ohhhh my life, had the goodness of blue waters

A day's a day for all I used to say

Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out

Drowning in my autocratic ways

Ohhhh that's when, I am tempted by the waters

Waters that can take me far away

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road

Hoping someone somewhere needs me

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road

Talking to the man who knows me

Yes he knows me

The man is me

My life, is now full of people's faces

Within the light of change I pulled away

Ohhhh my life, shows that no man is an island

I've exchanged the piece of life I cut away

Now you won't see me walking down that open road

I've found someone now who needs me

No you won't see me walking down that open road

I've found at last the man who knows me

Yes he knows me

And the man was me

The man was me
