Different Roads Lyrics by Joe Cocker

No Ordinary World

1999

Tonight I walk these city streets and
I think about the past
When you where mine and our love was forever
I never thought that you would go
Never dreamed that you would leave
Now the taste I have is bitter sweet
I know you had to go and find that new horizon
Your star was calling endlessly
In my heart I can only wish you well
I hope you find your every dream

We have taken different roads
We have gone our separate ways
Though there may be many miles between us
In my heart the love remains
It will not change
Across a thousand days
Down a different road
Down a different road

That old rivers turning
But is it going anywhere
Maybe like me it's trying to find its way back home
But all alone can my heart rest
How will my eyes begin to trust?
I only want the best for the both of us

Maybe somewhere in a different time or space
We'll find a place where we can stay
I'll hold that moment
Forever and for always
I'll never be that far away

We have taken different roads
We have gone our separate ways
Though there may be many miles between us
In my heart the love remains
It will not change across a thousand days
Down a different road
Down a different road

Time has been my only friend
The truth is like a knife
It cuts right through you
I didn't want to lose you

We have taken different roads
We have gone our separate ways
Though there may be many miles between us
In my heart the love remains
It will not change across a thousand days
Down a different road
Down a different road
