ROADS AND CROSSROADS IN THE DUST

ROADS AND CROSSROADS IN THE DUST

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

JAN.2019

DON'T KNOW WHERE THE TIME WENT

BUT ITS NEARLY GONE

I COULD FOOL MYSELF 

THAT I'LL LIVE FOREVER

BUT I KNOW IT ISN'T TRUE

ITS BEEN A LONG LONG RUN

IN DARKNESS AND IN THE SUN

THE LOVE I HAVE KNOWN

THE KINDNESS I SOMETIMES FOUND 

THE PARTS OF MY LIFE THAT WERE SWEET

ALL THE INNOCENCE I LEFT BEHIND

BUT SOMEWHERE IN MY MIND

THAT NEVER SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY

MY RESTLESS SPIRITS READY TO GO

BUT TIME ISN'T READY

ITS STANDING STILL

WHILE I'M WAITING TO GO

I TOOK IN EVERYTHING I COULD

ALL THE GOOD THINGS

AND SOME I NEVER SHOULD

ALL THE GOOD WITH THE BAD 

ALL THE TIMES I HAD

THAT LEFT ME TO SMILE

AND THE ONES THAT MADE ME CRY

I'LL LEAVE THEM, BETTER LEFT BEHIND

I WON'T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE

AS THE SUNS GOING DOWN

ON A MOST EPIC JOURNEY

THAT STARTED SO LONG AGO

chorus

YOU GAVE ME THE SUN

GAVE ME THE MOON

AND I'LL JUST KEEP GOING ON

BY YOUR GRACE

SOMETHING I'LL HAVE TO FACE

AS LONG AS I GET TO SEE

THE SUN RISE AND SET ON ME

ROADS AND CROSSROADS 

IN DUST

PICK ONE BECAUSE YOU MUST

THEN LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN

AND LOOK UP AT THE STARS

WITH WONDER IN YOUR EYES

DON'T LET IT FADE

EVEN IN THE RAIN

ACROSS THE TIDE

SIT QUIETLY AND LISTEN

TO THE WIND BLOW

YOU MIGHT FIND

YOU'LL SUDDENLY KNOW

WHICH DIRECTION

YOU SHOULD GO

I WON'T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE

I'M ALREADY GONE

MAYBE IF YOU HURRY

YOU CAN CATCH UP

AND I WON'T BE ALONE
