Don't Go This Way

Lyrics

Now that I wait at the end of the road
Reaping the harvest of seed that I sowed
I used to think that I had what it takes
That was just one of my many mistakes
It’s not as if I had one road to choose
Was there a path where I could never lose?
I wish that I’d listened when you used to say
Please change direction please don’t go this way

I wish I’d listened to all your advice
It’s not as if you did not tell me twice
I made my decision selected my choice
I didn’t listen to your still small voice
If I had known that there was consequence
Maybe my choices would make better sense
I wish that I’d listened when you used to say
Please change direction please don’t go this way

It all has an answer if you do the math
I had to travel along sorrows path
It’s not enough just to wish for the moon
I tried to dance to a different tune
And now here I am now the tune’s at an end
Wishing I’d taken advice from a friend
I wish that I’d listened when you used to say
Please change direction please don’t go this way

Very classic with that uke use and vocal style. Excellent lyric on reflection and thoughts. This is a really lovely song, the musical and vocal changes are spot on. You’ve squeezed in all the emotion. Absolutely lovely.
