Lyrics
[verse]
I drove a cab through fifty years
Carried strangers, carried tears
Never told them what I lost
The road not taken, and the cost
[verse]
He asked me once to be his wife
I chose the wheel instead of life
Told myself I'd find my way
Watched the seasons drift away
[chorus]
Call me Cleopatra, lost inside the wrong parade
Queen of nothing, choices that I made
Still I'm driving down these empty streets
Chasing all the love I didn't keep
[verse]
Mandolin plays a wistful tune
Underneath a fading moon
Every passenger I take
Reminds me of the turn I didn't make
[chorus]
Call me Cleopatra, lost inside the wrong parade
Queen of nothing, choices that I made
Still I'm driving down these empty streets
Chasing all the love I didn't keep
[bridge]
Years go by like passing signs
Every mile a different life
Wonder what I could have been
If I had let that stranger in
[chorus]
Call me Cleopatra, lost inside the wrong parade
Queen of nothing, choices that I made
Still I'm driving down these empty streets
Chasing all the love I didn't keep
