lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down on Maple Road the old sign swayed at night,
A lonely soul sat silent beneath the porch light.
Worn out boots, empty pockets, eyes full of dreams,
Trying to hold together broken little things.
Mama used to whisper,
“Don’t be afraid to go,”
But there was sadness in her voice
too deep for a child to know.
[Chorus]
Down on Maple Road,
watching life roll out of town,
Every train that passed at night
left another memory down.
And only the moon could see
all the hurt behind those eyes,
Falling asleep by the window
with the lonely dark outside.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights faded early in that quiet little place,
Rain kept drawing silver tears across the windowpane.
An old guitar still resting by photographs gone pale,
Songs played softly through the night
like whispers in the rain.
People walked on by
without ever knowing why,
But every melody carried
a heart too tired to cry.
[Chorus]
Down on Maple Road,
carrying a heavy soul,
Trying to stop a world
that was spinning out of control.
And only the cold night wind
remembered where those footsteps go,
Walking all alone beneath
the lights of Maple Road.
[Bridge]
Maybe all of us
have our own Maple Road,
A place that keeps on hurting
long after we let go…
[Outro]
And the old wind still sings
through the trees and telephone wires,
About a heart still searching
for a little piece of light…
Somewhere…
on Maple Road…
Down on Maple Road the old sign swayed at night,
A lonely soul sat silent beneath the porch light.
Worn out boots, empty pockets, eyes full of dreams,
Trying to hold together broken little things.
Mama used to whisper,
“Don’t be afraid to go,”
But there was sadness in her voice
too deep for a child to know.
[Chorus]
Down on Maple Road,
watching life roll out of town,
Every train that passed at night
left another memory down.
And only the moon could see
all the hurt behind those eyes,
Falling asleep by the window
with the lonely dark outside.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights faded early in that quiet little place,
Rain kept drawing silver tears across the windowpane.
An old guitar still resting by photographs gone pale,
Songs played softly through the night

But every melody carried
a heart too tired to cry.
[Chorus]
Down on Maple Road,
carrying a heavy soul,
Trying to stop a world
that was spinning out of control.
And only the cold night wind
remembered where those footsteps go,
Walking all alone beneath
the lights of Maple Road.
[Bridge]
Maybe all of us
have our own Maple Road,
A place that keeps on hurting
long after we let go…
[Outro]
And the old wind still sings
through the trees and telephone wires,
About a heart still searching
for a little piece of light…
Somewhere…
on Maple Road…
