Roadsinger (To Warm You Through the Night) is the thirteenth studio album by Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens). Roadsinger is Yusuf's second mainstream release since his return to music. The album made its debut on the Billboard 200 at position #41 and on the UK charts at #10.
The album was released by Island Records in the UK. It was released in the US by reissue label Hip-O Records and is catalogued under A&M Records. Hip-O Records also reissues Cat Stevens' A&M releases from the 1970s, hence Roadsinger is an addition to his A&M catalog.
"Everytime I Dream" was inspired by the media criticism of Yusuf Islam following his alleged support for the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini on Salman Rushdie, the author of The Satanic Verses.
All songs are written by Yusuf.
Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, 21 July 1948), commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, humanitarian, and education philanthropist.

His albums Tea for the Tillerman (1970) and Teaser and the Firecat (1971) were both certified triple platinum in the US by the RIAA. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and Islamic music.
His 1972 album Catch Bull at Four spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, and fifteen weeks at number one in the Australian ARIA Charts. He earned two ASCAP songwriting awards in 2005 and 2006 for "The First Cut Is the Deepest", and the song has been a hit for four different artists. His other hit songs include "Father and Son", "Wild World", "Peace Train", "Moonshadow", and "Morning Has Broken". In 2007 he received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection.

Cat Stevens "Yusuf Islam" - album Roadsinger 2009 lyrics : Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat People stood and stared then closed their doors, as he passed He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans Then the panting dogs began to bark, as the Roadsinger sang Where do you go, where do you go When hearts are closed When a friend becomes a stranger Nobody wants to know Where do you go, where do you go When the world turns dark And the light of truth is blown out And the roads are blocked He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks A child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back Behind a misty glass, on a windowpane A little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name Where do you go, where do you go In a world filled with fri...

Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat,
people stood and stared then closed their doors, as he passed,
he strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans,
then the panting dogs began to bark, as the Roadsinger sang
Where do you go, where do you go,
when hearts are closed,
when a friend becomes a stranger,
nobody wants to know
Where do you go, where do you go,
when the world turns dark,
and the light of truth is blown out,
and the roads are blocked
He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks,
a child's face peeped out and gave a smile, and ran back,
behind a misty glass, on a windowpane,
a little finger drew a perfect heart, and a name
Where do you go, where do you go,
in a world filled with fright,
only a song to warm you, through the night
Where do you go, where do you go,
after lies are told,
and the light of truth is blown out,
and the night is cold
Mmm... Mmmm... Mmmm... Mmmm...
Roadsinger rode on, to another land,
though the people spoke a different tongue, it understand,
they showed him how to share, and took him by the hand,
showed him the path to Heaven, through the desert sand
Where do you go, where do you go,
to find happiness,
in a world filled with hatred, (Cheers)
where do you go, where do you go,
if no one cares,
