"All The Roads" lyrics

"All The Roads"

All the sudden it seems
So long
Since the endless sky
Has come and gone
And left a hole
Where it used to be
You can look inside it
You'll see
You were right all along to be scared-
There are monsters hiding
Everywhere

In the shopping malls
And the white schools walls
Even down in the palm of your loving hand

All the sudden it's so
Far away
Ring the doorbell
Can you come and play
Still I can remember it well
Like a hammer striking on a bell
Come and follow me into the park
As the evening sky was
Growing dark

And now it's gone
But it lingers on
Like the tune of a song that we used to
Play

But when my mind wanders off
In a sentimental mood I'll
Find my way back again
The way I always do
Because

All the roads still lead
Back to you
All the roads still lead
Back to you
All the roads still lead
Back to you

My love
My only one
My guiding star
My setting sun

All the sudden it's all
So remote
Chalk lines and tears
In your throat
All the majesty wrapped
In the haze
Split the road that lead
So many ways

And none of them were wrong
But the one you were on
Stretched out so long with the carpets laid

All the sudden I'm off
Somewhere
And everyone just seems to
Sit and stare
At something that I can't see
And it haunts and terrifies me
For everything on the Earth
It has eyes
And so it comes as no surprise

The only thing that's yours
The way It was before
Is now nothing more than what you choose to
Face

But when my mind wanders off
In a sentimental mod
I'll find my way back again
The way I always do, because

All the roads still lead
Back to you
All the roads still lead
Back to you
All the roads still lead
Back to you

My love
My only one
My guiding star
My setting sun
