Lyrics
I am leaving you tomorrow
and I won't be back again
Won't be feeling too much sorrow
'cause you caused me too much pain,
so I'm watching autumn leaves outside the window
and I'm thinking 'bout the seeds that I have sowed,
but I won't be there to see them as they're growing
'cause you are just another fork along the road
just another fork along the road.
Well I wonder if you thought that I'd be leaving
when you did the things that you have done
Did you ever think it won't be me that's grieving,
now that we have no time left to run?
Did you ever wonder how I'd feel about you
after all this time when your true feelings showed?
I don't think that there's a chance of you believing
that you were just another fork along the road,
just another fork along the road
INSTRUMENTAL
Do you remember when our love was incandescent? When your heart for me burned so much that you glowed?
Now our love is gone, it's only so much ashes
and you are just another fork along the road
just another fork along the road.
I won't stop to say goodbye as I am leaving
to journey on to some forgotten town,
and I won't look back in sorrow or in anger
'cause I'll never let your pity bring me down
so I'll look ahead to laughter in the sunshine,
and forget about the debt that I am owed,
and I'll learn next time to spend my love more wisely,
And not upon some fork along the road,
you're just another fork along the road,
just another fork along the road.
