Man at the Crossroads Lyrics by The Seldom Scene

Remains to Be Scene

2025

[Verse]
\nLong as I remember, he's been there
\nStanding idly in the crossroads sun
\nAnd he never goes east
\nAnd he never goes west
\nHe just stands to watch the railroad run
\n
\n[Verse]
\nWell there used to be a tavern standing there
\nWhere his friends would come to buy him beer
\nIn time some would go east
\nAnd the others go west
\nHe was left to watch the lonely years
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBut if he could
\nI know that he would
\nSpread his wings to the past
\nOn the rails so fast
\nHe'd be gone when the morning came on
\nHe would sail
\nRiding the rail
\nHe would be home
\n
\n[Instrumental break]
\n
\n[Verse]
\nLast that I remember he was still there
\nBut I don't know where he stays no more
\nWith a tear in his eyes
\nHe still walks the old times
\nThough he tries he could never forget
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBut if he could
\nI know that he would
\nSpread his wings to the past
\nOn the rails so fast
\nHe'd be gone when the morning came on
\nHe would sail
\nRiding the rail
\nHe would be home\n\n
