Fork In The Road
Tomorrow, I enter the hell of your heaven
And I didn’t have to die- just part of me
You shot me through the head and then the heart of me
But it won’t really be the end- just the start of me
My world has turned: worst has become the best
Loving you hurts me, my soul is learning
The road to you is long, my soul is churning
I see your face inside; my soul is burning
Oh, why must it take so long?
I’m maddened by your lovers in my sleep
I dream journeys over mountains high and steep
Sometimes fall, sometimes die, most times weep
Will I stumble, will I perish or will I leap
‘cross the chasm to your arms
And finally drink deep?
