Thousand Roads Lyrics - David Crosby

I used to walk around with my eyes on fire 

My nerves real close to my skin 

Had a fist full of questions and a brand on my cheek 

And we would skate where the ice got thin 

And the smoke blowing down from a cabin on a hilltop 

Smoke blowing down in the street 

Some kind of sweet smelling mystical backdrop 

To the story unfolding at my feet 

There's an edge to the twist of an acrobat in the air 

There's an edge to the twist of a knife 

There's a hard heart of darkness hovering there 

Just around the corner from life

And I, I have no answers 

I got no patented path to set you free 

Besides I wouldn't know where you wanted to go 

And it's probably not the same place as me 

There's a thousand roads up this mountain 

You can get lost in a minute if you try 

And it's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah 

Looking this close in your eye 

Photos 

I said there was a thousand roads up this mountain 

You can get lost in a minute if you try 

It's probably enough that I was just laughing today, yeah 

Looking this close in your eye, in your eye 

In your eye
