Great Western Road is mine tonight
Stretched out like a big dipper ride
And only coupled taxis pass me by
Leaving Hindland far behind

Light chinks through curtains here and there
But most folk are off to bed by now
On my own just walking home
But I don’t feel afraid, I don’t feel alone

’Cause I feel so alive, I feel free tonight
I feel so alive, I feel free tonight

I won’t be dining at the Devonshire tonight
Don’t think my particular dress sense suits your clientele
These new boots of mine are killing my feet
But I’ll keep walking

I love the peace you give to me tonight
Peace I cannot explain but I cannot deny
I’m the only girl in this whole wide earth
But I don’t feel afraid, I don’t feel alone

Abraham’s children up above
The ones You had in mind before all time
You are the same God
You are the same Father
You are the same friend of mine

The swans are sleeping peacefully
I’m a stranger in this life of mine
I’m so close to home but so far from home
But I don’t feel afraid, I don’t feel alone
