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
|

Paths Will Cross
