lyrics

My life with you is over
Only see you in my dreams
It’s hard to know what matters
When your heart’s ripped at the seams

And the sky is turning
From blue to black
And the Road goes on without you
I only see you when I look back

Mysteries weave dark magic
And hide the truth from our eyes
I can’t see what’s coming
On this raft with water open-wide

And the sky is turning
From blue to black
And the Road goes on without you
I only see you when I look back

Heads or tails my friend?
Let’s break it down until the bitter end
Just play your hand
It’s not like I can’t guess, which way you’ll go
So come on and roll the dice
Your game is up

And the sky is turning
From blue to black
And the Road goes on without you
I only see you when I look back

Cypress tress grow tall here
Arch angels of the shadowed lands
Close my eyes and hear you whisper
To reach out and take your hand

And the sky is turning
From blue to black
And the Road goes on without you
I only see you when I look back
