lyrics

I watched my father at the end,
Turn around another bend, I waved goodbye
But when I looked he was there again, with a sheepish knowing grin,
And now I know why

There's not an easy way to go
It's not to the left or right
It's not point A to point B, trust me
It ain't a line
We've got plenty of time

Someone, a boy, I know quite well
Afraid he was damned to hell
Was often found alone
A life that no one knew about, afraid he'd be found out.
Always took the long way home.

It's not unique, one of no kind,
Ask the questions, 'cause there's plenty of clues
There's no path to take you to who you'll be
To make the choice is not the crime
We've got plenty of time

If we can't see it is there an end,
And doesn't moving ahead lead to somewhere else
If there's a tree that falls in the woods, a little train that thinks it could
I solved the puzzle but had an extra piece

My daughter watched me at the end
Turn around another ben, she waved goodbye
But when she looked I was there again, with that sheepish knowing grin.
I told her why

There's not an easy way to go,
It's not to the left or right
It's not point A to point B, trust me
It ain't a line,
We've got plenty of time.
