Two Roads, One Lane

Two Roads; One Lane By; Aidan Gilbert Daisies are turning blue, Roses are staying red When a rock dies does it know it was already dead Stone cold lying in the dirt Oh did it feel its hurt It’s too late to cry for my pain You already disgraced my name Did the land carry you off your feet I thought I heard it call your name Leaving me in pain I planted the tree of our memories The leaves are just pictures of me on my knees It is watered through my eternal eyes There’s no shame for a man to cry My heart never returned I watched in flames you let it burn Now a days these black walls all look the same… Back to me is the only place you never came Same colored sky same colored night This inside feeling I can’t deny Every night, only one star so distance and far I wonder what it sees When it looks down on me What happens when a leaf falls Back at the tree its family calls It leaves back memories But the death is all you can see These whiskey waters are getting dry That means my love is about to die I give one final call, but no one picks up That now means I’m the empty cup Set down forever… Erase me never.
