The Road Not Travelled
Sat outside the terminal: how could they do that at all?
How could they not look back and know
it was the end of it all?
Sunset on the concrete wall
Sitting outside to stall for time
One more photograph, then get on the airline
I tried to write a song called “The Road Not Travelled”
About a man who settled down
And how his mind unraveled
When the past came back to meet him
As an old forgotten friend
Who’d taken the other road:
The Road Not Travelled
I used to dream back then
I was racing down a steep mountain
Moving hundred miles an hour
Even if I should have stopped I didn’t know how
In this song the hour was late
And the man was sitting
Alone by the fire grate
His wife and daughter were sleeping
The old friend came knocking, thinking
About the roots that he had not grown
And the wife and daughter woke
As the past came a-calling
I used to think back then
I was racing full speed headlong
Into a solid brick wall
I could not stop at all
The world was wide and he had crossed it
Growing tired of experience
And as the wife and daughter listened
To the stories he was telling them
The daughters eyes ablaze with wonder
And tears on the wife’s cheeks
Filled with longing, quietly weeping
For The Road Not Travelled
Sat outside the terminal:
how could they do that at all?
How could they not look back and
know it was the end of it all?
