Fork in the Road

want me to be honest
i suppose i should
the reason that i left you
is just because i could
didn't have to look back
i could hear you crying
saw a shadow on the ground
little bird above was flying

walking down the road
i didn't meet a soul
the day was hot and sunny
still i started feeling cold
shadows of the trees
took on an evil glow
a kind of dread surrounded me
from somewhere deep below

then i came to a fork in the road
which way to follow, the dilemma of old
want to know what i did, well truth be told
i just stopped right there
i just stopped right there

people pass me by 

they go left or right
i see 'em in the morning 

i see 'em in the night
they can't even see me 

as they go right or left
i don't cast no shadow 

my soul is so bereft

here, right here i'll always be
maybe you put some kind of curse on me
a voiceless faceless ghost 
  at the fork in the road
forever stopped right here
forever stopped right here
