lyrics

time has washed away and now i may wonder how did it all slip by
cause i always thought we had forever
future calls to me to take me away from things i don't want to leave behind
like i'm slipping away i can't hold on
find that path alone crossroads lead me away
but that's not what worries me, i just want to know what's home
through it all my mind still wanders to the one who touched my soul
though her road leads away she's still my true love i could believe
will is not enough when all thoselost days stand in the way
but she was my hopes and dreams, my whole world i could believe
i still want to know who can see for me crossroads tell me
now you'll have to trade your past away and find another day
so is change a friend or an enemy
through what comes to pass i'll find my way, i've seen it all before
but is the best you can be the best thing to be, some people say
you're just wasting time
but that's not what worries me, i just want to know what's home
