about

a Woman's story about her dream to get to London and never reaching it. But more so it is a metaphor for all of us not quite reaching our dreams.

lyrics

11. Road to London



Everyone said she's gonna be the one to put this village on the map

Everywhere that she ever went they would lift her up in their hands

Every day a shiny medal wrapped around her neck,

There were no records left unbroken

Even though she never really listened, no was no praise was left unspoken



And every day marched on the same

Like an army they were coming

And when she looked up to the hills she could almost see

Her life unfold in London



When he walked into school everybody felt like they all were in some American movie

With the half smile and those sad eyes that all of the girls like

No one ever said they didn't see it coming they were predictable as spring

The sun was bright on their wedding day all of the bells, they were singing



But every day marched on the same

And the army was setting up their tents now

And when she looked behind the hills

She could see one day she'd be dancing in London



He never hit the bottle and he never turned mean

She had nothing to complain about

But the weight of expectation in everybody's eyes

Was like an anvil in her gut



Every now and then she'd see some friend who'd just come home

And they'd tell their tales of wonder

She wondered when it happened

She just a gray day and they the thunder



And every day marched on the same

And the army now the government

And when she looked up to the hills

The fallen trees had blocked her road to London
