I can still remember
|
Every song you played
|
Long ago, when we were younger
|
And we rocked the night away
|
|
How could I see a future then
|
Where you would not grow old
|
With such a fire in our bellies
|
Such a hunger in our soul
|
|
I guess I probably loved you
|
When those words rolled off your tongue
|
It seemed that we were travelin'
|
Under some ol' lucky sun
|
|
I know I couldn't save you
|
And no one was to blame
|
But the road we shared together once
|
Will never be the same
|
|
Hey hey gonna fly away
|
Won't be comin' round today
|
Hey hey with a song I pray
|
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away
|
|
I wandered in the wilderness
|
For a while I was so lost
|
To everything there is a season
|
And every blessing has its cost
|
|
So I took what you left me
|
Put it to some use
|
Went looking for an answer
|
With those 3 chords and the truth
|
|
I come down from the mountain
|
I come walkin' in your shoes
|
I was taken for a gambler
|
When I had no more to lose
|
|
Cause you put me on that pathway
|
How could I refuse
|
And I have spent my whole life out here
|
Workin' on the blues
|
|
So I carried on
|
You can't be haunted by the past
|
People come and people go
|
And nothin' ever lasts
|
|
But I still think about you
|
Wonder where you are
|
Can you see me from some place
|
Up there among the stars
|
|
But down here under heaven
|
There never was a chart
|
To guide our way across
|
This crooked highway of the heart
|
|
And if it's only all about
|
The journey in the end
|
On that road I'm glad I came to know you
|
My old friend
|
