So many friends have come in and out of my life that I thought it deserved a song. Friends have since complained that it was me and not them who has been on the move.
Song Description

Lyrics
FORKS IN THE ROAD
I have had some friends and I never will deny
That in some small ways they have all touched on my life
But with forks in the road and trains in the night
Next thing I knew they were clean out of sight
I recall their conversations I can almost feel their touch
But it was knowing they were near that came to mean so much
I do not recall any hard words ever said
Just a change in an age of motion One by one they went
And with forks in the road and trains in the night
Next thing I knew They were clean out of sight
We would go down by the sand by the banks of a river
It was there we made our plans how we'd go on forever
But the wind blows so strong and the sand is so fine
The river changed its course and my friends all changed their minds
And with forks in the road and trains in the night
Next thing I knew They were clean out of sight
I have had some friends and I never will deny
That in some small ways they have all touched on my life
But with forks in the road and trains in the night
Next thing I knew they were clean out of sight
They were clean out of sight
