If I'd Made Other Choices

Verse I don’t know why it is I remember, The smile on your face. I’ve travelled so far, In another man’s car, But I still feel your embrace. Verse Too much water has passed under The bridge where I stand. A lifetime gone by, In the blink of an eye, Since I joined the travelling band. Chorus But the years rolled on, And the fun all died. You know at least... I could have tried. Now it’s just another job to do, I should have listened to you. Verse Oh, my nights have been so lonely, New town ev’ry day. But at the end of it all, My back’s to the wall, And I just can’t walk away. Bridge If only I’d made other choices, You might still be here with me. Singing up front in the spotlight — That’s where you’re meant to be. Final Chorus (sung softly) But the years rolled on, And the fun all died. You know at least... I could have tried. Now it’s just another job to do, I should have ......Listened to you. Outro Now I’m all alone in the evenings, Your picture’s still on my phone. If I’d only made other choices, I’d be with you... Back home.
