Marking Time Songtext
von Eric Bogle & John Munro

The road behind me disappears
In a haze of vague regret
The road ahead is still unclear
There′s a mist that hides it yet
So here I stand on shifting sand
Waiting for a sign
I'm standing at the crossroads marking time

Listen to your heart
It′s the only road to follow
When all your dreams have flown
Let your heart lead you home

The wheel of time, it spins unconcerned
The short years come and go
And as it spins, the more I learn
The less I seem to know
On the rundown hill with no answers still
To this foolish pantomime
I'm standing at the crossroads marking time


Listen to your heart
It's the only road to follow
When you′re weary and alone
Let your heart lead you home

Yet sometimes when I lift my eyes
The road ahead is clear
The mist was just a thin disguise
To hide my deepest fears
To live the light or to fear the night
I know the choice is mine
When I′m standing at the crossroads marking time

Listen to your heart
It's the only road to follow
Though the future is unknown
Let your heart lead you home

Listen to your heart
It′s the only road to follow
Though the future is unknown
Let your heart lead you home
