    There is a road, no simple highway

    Between the dawn and the dark of night

    And if you go, no one may follow

    That path is for your steps alone

    Ripple in still water

    When there is no pebble tossed

    Nor wind to blow

    You who choose to lead must follow

    But if you fall you fall alone

    If you should stand then who's to guide you?

    If I knew the way I would take you home

      What song is this? It reminded me of 'when you leave that way you can never come back'. You should give that a go, the ollie austin version is my preferred take.

      Edit: oooooh thats ripple

    My 'favorites' change daily, so here's today's: That's the Way That the World Goes Round -John Prine

    I know a guy that's got a lot to lose. He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. Thinks he own half of this town.

    Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose. Beats his old lady with a rubber hose, Then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes. That's the way that the world goes 'round.

    That's the way that the world goes 'round. You're up one day and the next you're down. It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes 'round.

    I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes, When the radiator broke, water all froze. I got stuck in the ice without my clothes, Naked as the eyes of a clown. I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak, When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke. I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke That's the way that the world goes 'round.

    He looked beneath his shirt today

    There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide

    From the wound a lovely flower grew

    From somewhere deep inside

    He turned around to face his mother

    To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand

    But the sword that cut him open

    Was the sword in his mother's hand

    The Lazarus Heart - Sting

    Whiskey woman, don't you know that you are driving me insane? Liquor you give stems your will to live, it gets right to my brain You're trying to find your way through life You're trying to get some new direction Another woman's got a man But she won't get a new connection

    Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through

    Take another look around, you're not going anywhere You realise you're getting old and no one seems to care You're trying to find your way again You're trying to get some love Another woman's got a man But she won't get a new

    Takes another drink or two Things look better when she's through

    You been fooling with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up, get out You know you really blew it I've had enough I've had enough Good God, pluck me

    Once she was beautiful Once she was fine Once she was wonderful Once she was mine Change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore Change has come over her body She doesn't see me anymore

    Changes Changes Changes Changes
