I went down to the crossroads
fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads
fell down on my knees.
Asked the lord above for mercy, take me if you please. *)

Standing here at the crossroads
where you have left me.
Standing here at the crossroads
where you have left me.
Exposed like a dog by his famliy before their holiday.

Good Lord, please show me the way
I have to take to get away.
Good Lord, please show me the way.
I’m not sure if I’ll find the right road
but I promise to reach the next crossroads.

(Solo)

You can run, you can hide,
you won’t belive me if you don’t listen to me.
You can run, you can hide
you went your way back home.
But you can’t escape from yourself.

Sooner than expected you’ll find yourself at this crossroads
desperate like a snowman at sun.
But sooner than expected you’ll find yourself at this crossroads
desperate like a snowman at sun.
I hope you’ll think at me and you’ll find the right words to pray.
