OT: Songs That Indicate, Hint, or Imply Direction or Distance...of Some Type

Last one for tonight, Dire Straits is on my Mount Rushmore of 80's bands:

"Take a picture of this...empty fields...an abandoned '59 chevy"....

A favorite from 1969, lyrics loosely based on poems of Antonio Machado…




Walker, your footprints are the path
Caminante, son tus huellas el camino

and nothing more
Y nada más

Walker, there is no path
Caminante, no hay camino

The path is made by walking
Se hace camino al andar

When you walk you make a path, and when you look back
Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás

You see the path that will never be trodden again
Se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar

Walker, there is no path
Caminante, no hay camino

But wakes in the sea
Sino estelas en la mar

That is a beautiful poem.
Another example of why I should really make a serious effort to learn the Spanish language.

I'm going with songs that don't specify any specific distance, just getting yourself to somewhere else than the current location.
