Crossroads - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
When first I did appear upon this native soil[00:00:08]
All up and down this country at labor I did toil[00:00:13]
I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun[00:00:18]
I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run[00:00:23]
When first I did come down where the land meets the sea[00:00:30]
The people said who are you and what would your name be[00:00:35]
I said I have no home and I am no man's son[00:00:40]
'Twas inland I was born and from inland that I come[00:00:45]
In the good land I was young and I was strong[00:00:50]
No one dared to call me son[00:00:54]
Happy just to see my day's work done[00:00:56]
See my day's work done[00:01:01]
So I swung an axe as a timberjack[00:01:12]
And I worked the Quebec mines[00:01:14]
And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines[00:01:17]
I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town[00:01:22]
Built the highways and the byways to the western salmon grounds[00:01:27]
I've gazed upon the good times I've seen the bad times too[00:01:36]
Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew[00:01:41]
I've watched the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing[00:01:46]
And on the still of a summer night I've heard the mountains ring[00:01:51]
In the good land I was young and I was strong[00:01:56]
No one dared to call me son[00:02:00]
Happy just to see my day's work done[00:02:02]
See my day's work done[00:02:07]
But now the seeds are planted and the gates are open wide[00:02:21]
The old ways are forgotten there's no place left to hide[00:02:26]
And the legacy I'm leavin' you is not very hard to find[00:02:30]
You'll see it all around you at this crossroads of time[00:02:36]
In the sweet soil it's a growin' at the crossroads of time[00:02:40]
