Calvin Russell Lyrics
I'm standing at the crossroads
There are many roads to take
But I stand here so silently
For fear of a mistake
One path leads to paradise
One path leads to pain
One path leads to freedom
But they all look the same
I've traveled many roads
And not all of them where good
The foolish ones taught more to me
Than the wise ones ever could
One path leads to sacrifice
One path leads to shame
One path leads to freedom
But they all look the same
There were roads I never traveled
There were turns I did not take
There were mysteries that I left unraveled
But leaving you was my only mistake
So I'm standing at the crossroads
Imprisoned by this doubt
As if by doing nothing
I might find my way out
One path leads to paradise
One path leads to pain
One path leads to freedom
But they all look the same

I'm standing at the crossroads
There are many roads to take
But I stand here so silently
For fear of a mistake.
One path leads to paradise
One path leads to pain
One path leads to freedom
They all look the same.
I've travelled many roads
And not all of them where good
The foolish ones taught more to me
Than the wise ones ever could.
One path leads to sacrifice
One path leads to shame
One path leads to freedom
They all look the same.
There were roads I never travelled
There were turns I did not take
There were mysteries I could not unravel
Leaving you was my only mistake.
So I'm standing at the crossroads
Imprisoned by this doubt
As if by doing nothing
I might find my way out.
One path leads to paradise
One path leads to pain
One path leads to freedom
But they all look the same.
There were roads I never travelled
There were turns that I did not take
There were mysteries that I left unravelled
Leaving you was my only mistake.

Why haven't I heard of Calvin Russell before now, It's like finding a diamond. So much truth in this song. Love it
A. Engelhaft
One of my absolute favourite songs existing. The words, Calvin's voice and the incredible guitar open the heart and reveal a very deep person!
I saw him live in a tiny venue for newcoming bands in Zürich in a place called Rote Fabrik, 1990 or so.
