The road ahead

I'm sitting in the office (another two and a half days to go and then I'm free as I can be!), outside it's snowing AGAIN (or still? I don't know...) and as usual I don't have anything to do - why not use this time to explain the title of this blog... maybe you've asked yourself what "The road ahead" has got to do with a language exchange or with my life: simple as it is, this is the title of one of my favorite songs (if anyone likes the same kind of music as I do, this song is worth downloading! Legally of course! ;))!
Here are the lyrics:

The road ahead is empty
It's paved with miles of the unknown
Whatever seems to be your destination
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is


Horizon in the distance
So close, and yet so far away
You shouldn't be surprised when on arrival
The dream has flown away
And fear is not here to stay


The road ahead never gives away a promise
The road ahead is a highway or a dead-end street

A dead-end street

Raindrops on your windscreen
They fall from heaven or from hell
You drive into the light or into darkness
Incertainty as your guide


The road ahead never gives away a promise
The road ahead is a highway or a dead-end street

The road ahead never answers any questions
And nothing is sure all the way, not even tomorrow
With miles of the unknown ahead of you


The road ahead is empty
It's paved with miles of the unknown
Whatever seems to be your destination
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is


I guess now it's clear why I chose this title - I don't know what the next three months (not to speak of anything that comes after England) will bring but I'm looking forward to walking these "miles of the unknown"....
