Lyrics
Crossroads
A cool wind blows across our shoulders
I?m lookin? in your eyes
I?m lookin? back through time
Crows settle down in the tops of the hemlocks
A river springs out of deep mystery
Sky so grey it shimmers like a mirror
And takes me back to an old memory
I can see it all in the light of early morning
At the crossroads I can see it all
Just one kiss as daylights dawning
One kiss and then a promise
?Another time? we said and promised
That we?d see each other here at the crossroads
?We must be brave? she said to the roses
With love light like phosphor in her eyes
And if we are they nodded together
Then black night turns to starlit skies
One kiss and then a promise
?Another time? we said and promised
that we?d see each other here at the crossroads
at the cross roads
One kiss and then a promise
Another time
