lyrics

you know the road that's leaving town, please walk with me
come with me to the top of the hill to see what's there to see
there's no time for good-byes, no time for what could be's
there's no time to reminisce, nor engage in pleasantries
you see the road there at my feet, it's calling me
and though it knows not where it goes
that's where I'm going to be

It's a blue road lonely with purple shadows that only hide
from a pink and orange sky, why hide?
is the sun coming up, or is it fading away
it's just another day on this blue road lonely

walking through this forest at night, 'midst the shadows of trees
a single eye looking down at me, I wonder what he thinks he sees?
when I get to that fork in the road will I know which way to go
either way is the right way, it doesn't matter what I think I might know
