verse 1 March up the side of any interstate or parkway Little vigils mark up the landscape White sticks where the flowers live Left with the hope of seeing him again Left with the hope of seeing her again Pre-Chorus Dmin It's easy not to recognize That there were crosses in the road The secrets that were never told The river and the trains, so different but the same They were just getting where they need to go The decorations out of car Windows verse 2 Hold on to memories, look for a sign that Talk to gravestone that never seem to talk back Never knowing what could've been Left with the hope of seeing him again Left with the hope of seeing her again Pre-Chorus Dmin It's easy not to recognize That there were crosses in the road The secrets that were never told The river and the trains, so different but the same They were just getting where they need to go Somewhere far from heaven only knows BRIDGE All this time I'm still haunted by your face tonight Think of you on your darkest night I wish that I Could save you from the wreckage of your last goodbye When I'm lonely I go and see you FINAL Chorus And the crosses in the road The secrets that were never told The river and the trains, so different but the same They were just getting where they need to go And the crosses in the road The secrets that were never told The people that we used to know Pay our respects to crosses in the road Pay our respects to crosses in the road
