Back Along This Highway (Crossroads) (Radio Edit)

by Joel Rafael

Lyrics
Once there was a time I thought I could remember
Every detail of my life
That time is far behind me now
And once there was a way to get back to the place
That I was coming from
But now I find that I've forgotten how

It's not that distant memories are needing me
But there is something in my past that's still there leading me

Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Where perhaps I lost my way

Riding toward the west
I know I'm racing just to catch the setting sun
To grab some light before my day is done
Beneath a fading sky of swirling blue and white
To a place where I can see the ocean
And the land turn into one

And it's not just to walk along her sandy shore
But there's a place that I must go
That I have been before

Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Where perhaps I lost my way

Before the light of dawn
Finds its way through the slats within your window shade
I will be gone but I will not be late
Returning with the evening stars
Will sparkle in the eastern sky
To guide me safely back in to your garden gate

And it is not my wish to spend time on my own
But there are places that each one of us must go it alone

Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Back along this highway to a crossroads
Where I just might find my way
