Crossroads

Six months on the road and all I have is a suitcase on my back

Said goodbye to Captain Farrell, I'm headed home upon a dusty track

And as the wind blows through the willows and I think of all the widows and I see my bride-to-be

But all I have is this dusty violin and a tune that she sang for me

La, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

And that is when I saw him there, the stranger saying"Boy, your heart is strong""Kinda funny how a heart can weigh you down with someone else's simple song"

But as the wind blows through the willows and the clouds began to billow, the melody kept time

The stranger said"Relax, ease that weight upon your back, and grant your melody to mine"

La, da, da, da, da, da

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

I stood there exhausted while the stranger smiled an unforgiving sigh"Well, that was fun" he said as he took my violin and said goodbye

And as the wind blew through the willows and the clouds began to billow, I heard a voice inside the breeze

The stranger turned around and finally saw her beauty, and it knocked him to his knees

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

And at the journey's end, I saw her once again
