lyrics

Forever Crooked Road - Dan Frechette © 1991

C-G-C-D-Em-Em

(C.) Wake up in the night
(G) Clouds in your (Em) eyes
(C.) and every sullen man seems old and (G) wasted (Em)
(C.) now and then we all get that (G) urge to (Em) try
but you (C.) mustn't take the chance and then you (D) waste it (Em)

(C.) So there you are
(G) sitting in the (Em) dark
and you're (C.) looking at a wall whose paint has (G) faded (Em)
(C.) so you feel tears welling up in you but you're (G) too old to (Em) cry
and you're (C.) looking for some reason to get (D) excited

(Chorus)
And the (Em) sun will ap(C.)pear
when you're (G) searching for some warmth
while you're (Em) living in a (D) fear that you'll (Em) break before the (C.) dawn. --
C-D-C-G x4

(C.) Look up at the sky
(G) at the pouring (Em) rain
and there's (C.) nothing left to do except try to (G) face it (Em)
(C.) once you've realized your (G) longing (Em) pain
to get (C.) every wish fulfilled that you've (D) awaited
(Em)

(C.) So walk on slow
down the (G) forever crooked (Em) road
(C.) it's just to show where you've been (G) headed (Em)
(C.) Don't shy away once you've (G) reached your (Em) goals
because (C.) people may kiss the ground on which
you've (D) treaded

(Chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
