The world's outside a window frame,
there's rain on the cars below
People outside look like they're in pain,
but they're laughing hard at stories
I don't know,
but I have one that I hold on to
It's sad, but I never seem to ever want to let it go,
let it go
A young woman one year younger than
The old boy loving her blind
Two cars parked by a highway side
A big old world zippin' by
She backs away,
much does her smile say
Says drive safe, baby,
I see you now on the other
side
He drives away with rhymes to remember
A long day's journey,
ride it down along the way
A young poet with a bleeding heart
Thinkin' more about the metaphor
And a woman driving away,
driving away
Two cars diverged on the yellow road
One for a home, one for the stars
Looked a little as he goes,
standing on his tippy toes
Trying to see himself too far away, gone
Two cars diverged from a yellow road
and that boy lost someone
Long promises and short love letters
Sweet smelling sounds over the phone
Said I sure love you baby,
I sure love to see you sooner
Sooner would I cry than mess
with my dream
Sooner would I die than ruin yours
So goodbye, goodbye
For the road is so long
All that's lost is new again
All that's born is gone
Maybe if this road stretches on
Ballin' round the world,
I could come and see you again
When it comes around
If it comes around
If it comes around
The world's outside the window frame,
it's the same road through every town.
Come to see the miracle,
a little love, a lyrical.
Only night around and
gone and moved on.
One night only come
see a lonely boy sing a song
Mental photographs and old love letters
Write it down again,
piling up in the drawer
Seems I've had only
one story worth using
And only one love was losing
But I won't use it anymore
I won't use you anymore
So goodbye, goodbye
For the road is so long
All that's lost is new again
All that's worn is gone
Maybe if this road stretches on
The only round in the world
I can come and see you again
When it comes around
If it comes around
If it comes around
If it comes around
And
And it comes around
