I came across the song Woman's Lonely Journey (女・・・ひとり旅) by Toshimi Tagawa and realized that it must have been the inspiration for Man's Lonely Journey (男ひとり旅), the song from the hidden programmer's room in Legend of Heroes III. The song came out in 1992, two years before the game, and they have a very similar feel. I'm pretty sure Man's Lonely Journey had a lyric that appeared as text in the game, but I can't find it on the internet and don't want to reinstall the game just to find it.
