Crosses

March up the side of any interstate or parkway
Little vigils mark of the landscape
White sticks where the flowers live
Left with the hope of seeing him again
Left with the hope of seeing her again

It's easy not to recognize
That there were crosses in the road
The secrets that were never told
The river and the train, so different but the same
They were just getting where they need to go
The decorations out a car window

Hold on to memories, look for a sign that
Talk to gravestones that never seem to talk back
Never knowing what could've been
Left with the hope of seeing him again
Left with the hope of seeing her again

It's easy now to recognize
That there were crosses in the road
The secrets that were never told
The river and the train, so different but the same
They were just getting where they need to go
Somewhere far from heaven only knows

All this time I'm still haunted by your face tonight
Think of you on your darkest night I wish that I
Could save you from the wreckage of your last goodbye
When I'm lonely I go and see you

And the crosses in the road
The secrets that were never told
The river and the train, so different but the same
They were just getting where they need to go
The crosses in the road
The secrets that were never told
The people that we used to know
They were just getting where they need to go
Pay our respects to crosses in the road
Pay our respects to crosses in the road
