Where Are You Going?

lyrics

Left my lover again
left my dreams on the doorstep
I promise its just for one day
same promise I made yesterday
and though I understand
its more than a matter of choosing
I never could plan anyway
not in these times so confusing

All the signposts
to the borders
and roads leading nowhere

At the bus stop again
thinking of some other places
and old friends who've gone by the way
down roads I never could follow

All the signposts
to the borders
and roads leading nowhere

Held my lover again
wrapped in the soft light of dawn
watching shadows that play on our skin
stealing these moments until day begins

"Where are you going?" she said
I turned to her and smiled slowly
"It's still a rough road that I tread
and sometimes it just feels so lonely"
she said "there are many like you
who never sought privilege or power
and out on the edges you know
life is more than survival"

All the signposts
to the borders
and roads leading nowhere

All the signposts
to the borders
and roads leading nowhere
