When I Choose

Caroline Doctorow
I waited 'til the morning came
But everything was still the same
And time came into play
There was a message on the wall
It took too long for me to call
The years had slipped away
But if I get a chance I'd take it
This time I'd take it all
I'm not choosing when I choose
I'm not crying
Some old man's blues
But there's so much I want to do again
The sun is shining in my eyes
Now it comes as no surprise
I'm walking on my own
But if I find the same highway
This time I'll go the other way
I know what's waiting down the road
Keep the mystery a mystery
Cause we don't need to know the end
The wheel it rolls slowly
Sometimes it rolls fast
If you keep your eyes wide open
It won't roll past you
