Dark Road
Annie Lennox · The Annie Lennox Collection [2009]
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no
I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself
There's a feelin
But you're not feelin' it at all
There's a meaning
But you're not listening any more
I look at that open road
I'm gonna walk there by myself
And if you catch me
I might try to run away
You know I can't be here too long
And if you let me
I might try to make you stay
Seems you never realise a good thing
Till it's gone..
Maybe im still searchin
But I dont know what it means
All the fires of destruction are still
Burnin' in my dreams
There's no water that can wash away
This longin' to come clean
Hey yea yea....
I cant find the joy within my soul
It's just sadness takin hold
I wanna come in from the cold
And make myself renewed again
It takes strength to live this way
The same old madness every day
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again...
It's a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no
I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself
Dark Road - Annie Lennox
Annie Lennox delivers a hauntingly atmospheric performance on 'Dark Road,' a track that exemplifies her ability to blend ethereal vocals with brooding instrumentation. Released as part of her 2009 retrospective, 'The Annie Lennox Collection,' the song stands as a testament to her enduring influence within the alternative and art pop genres. The recording captures a moment of introspective melancholy, characteristic of Lennox's work during her later career phases where she frequently explored themes of isolation and emotional depth. With its distinctive production and Lennox's commanding vocal presence, the track serves as a compelling addition to her discography, showcasing her versatility as a solo artist beyond her earlier fame with Fairport Convention and Eurythmics.
