Still By The Roadside (Slow Rock) - Mark Denver
Lyrics by:Mark Draijer
Composed by:Mark Draijer
Hmmmmm
There's a band along the highway
Where the wild flowers grow thin
I drive there once each springtime
Just to sit and think again
The world keeps rushing past me
Engines loud and wide
But I remain an old man
Still by the roadside
Still by the roadside
Watching years roll on
Cars full of tomorrows
Since yours has been gone
Still by the roadside
Where heaven touch the air
The day my heart was broken
And left me standing there
They put a little marker
With end car small and white
Rain has washed and faded
Through many restless nights
I trace the letter slowly
Forsaking hands of mine
Ever since century later
I'm still there in my time
Still by the roadside
Time could life divide
The moment I last held you
Before you slipped outside
Still by the wrong side
But I don't curse the sky
Learn of even sorrow
Doesn't mean goodbye
Still on the wrong side
Not for long I know
There's another road before me
Where our two must go
Still by the roadside
Till he calls my name
Then I leave these flowers here
And never come again
Uuuu
