Josh Ritter - Paths Will Cross lyrics

rate me

his 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 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 bury 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

Yes I, know our paths will cross again
