The Ship - Crossroads lyrics

Susan, I said, and she turned in the bed To see what I had to say It looks like we're on our way to Colorado Before I could stand she took hold of my hand Shook the sleep from her eyes You tell me such beautiful lies, I almost believe them But don't you know we started out this way before We packed our bags but never made it past the door And then she gently lays my head back on the pillow It always seems strange that the dream hasn't changed The first time I saw her face She smiled with just a trace of yesterday sorrow I promised the sun and I promised the sun But she said that she just didn't care The things that we have to share don't lie in tomorrow You city lights, did you really think I'd forget her? You golden lights, you don't make things any better And I don't think there'd be much use in trying You don't really know what you've got till it's gone I couldn't really k** her with kindness Guess she just got tired of my best Alibis turn to lies When you've nothing else to say You call it a holiday, but who are you fooling? The empty bed and the pain in your head Seem to be one and the same You try not to call out her name, but you don't have to say it I would take a walk, but then what good would it do? When all of these roads would only lead back to you And we were strangers at the crossroads going nowhere
