lyrics

They say our road is a winding one
Never know just when the twisting and turning will stop
We're carried away on the cruel winds of change
Never sure till the end of the block

My head is on fire
But the pavement is cold
I walk on a wire
Between a future too young and a past that's too old

On Beverley Street I learned to trust
That the ones I meet will mean what they say
We don't have the time to sit and wait
Cause some of us might not choose to stay

Change is quiet when it all happens too slow
Like a seed that's been left in your mind
Eating away at the pain as it grows
Until it can reach the light

My head is on fire
And I'm feeding the flames
I'm just so damn tired
Of walking the same road day after day

On Beverley Street I learned to love
Like our paths could always take us away
We don't have the time to kneel and pray
Cause some of us might need it today

I see others on their own on the street
But we won't always meet
The path they choose to take could go a million ways
And take them away
I know we won't always intersect
But my road bears your marks and I feel the effects
My mind may try to take me off track
But I know that our paths will always circle back

On Beverley street you came and went
For the briefest moment things were the same
Though I didn't get just what it meant
When the world changed
And our roads bent
