Gordon Lightfoot - Crossroads Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When first I did appear upon this native soil
  • All up and down this country at labor I did toil
  • I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun
  • I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run
  • When first I did come down where the land meets the sea
  • The people said who are you and what would your name be
  • I said I have no home and I am no mans son
  • twas inland I was born and from inland that I come
  • In the good land I was young and I was strong
  • No one dared to call me son
  • Happy just to see my days work done
  • See my days work done
  • So I swung an axe as a timberjack
  • And I worked the quebec mines
  • And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines
  • I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town
  • Built the highways and the byways to the western salmon grounds
  • Ive gazed upon the good times Ive seen the bad times too
  • Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin dew
  • Ive watched the country growin like a fair and mighty thing
  • And on the still of a summer night Ive heard the mountains ring
  • In the good land I was young and I was strong
  • No one dared to call me son
  • Happy just to see my days work done
  • See my days work done
  • But now the seeds are planted and the gates are open wide
  • The old ways are forgotten theres no place left to hide
  • And the legacy Im leavin you is not very hard to find
  • Youll see it all around you at this crossroads of time
  • In the sweet soil its a-growin at the crossroads of time
