Paths Will Cross |
This is it my dear old friend |
Our paths it seems are at an end for now |
Though in time we floated free |
We’re are pulled by separate gravities to ground |
But it’s clear in the way we part |
With our hearts together but our hands apart |
And it seems so hard to begin |
Best friends we’ll always be |
Though your road don’t follow me |
I know our paths will cross again |
Time has turned her face from me |
And spin spirals fancy free I flew |
With nothing but the dawn to see |
And now I’ve got my memories of you |
Well the road is windi' and road is hard |
And there’s no telling just how far |
Or how many letters I might send |
One day you’ll walk with me |
Against all probability |
I know our paths with cross again |
Time is like this fast freight train |
You gotta ride, you can’t remain behind |
And all your friends are on separate tracks |
And some of them and some of them they won’t look back to find |
The one place we all have known |
The one place we can call a home |
The place where each of us began |
Sure as that day rolls around |
When the road back home is finally found |
I know our paths will cross again |
Now my home is in a far off land |
Where love and time have made their stand against me |
And that’s probably where I’m gonna stay |
It’s probably where they’ll marry me some day |
But after all is come and gone |
And after every songs been sung there |
Comes a thought I won’t defend |
Sure stones are left unturned |
And on the streets where home fires burn |
I know our paths will cross again |
