about

This song combines two poems I wrote many decades ago: One I split to form the two verses, the other I rearranged a bit became the bridge, and then I wrote a chorus to make it all into a song.

lyrics

We listen to different tunes and we march to different drummers,
We walk under separate moons on nights of separate summers,
We look in different directions and we play by different rules,
We gaze at separate reflections ... reflected by separate pools.


Chorus
Once we walked together, now we walk apart
The road diverged in front of us, and the woods were deep and dark
I called out your name, from my dim and lonely path
Did you ever hear my voice? Did you ever look back?


We travel by different roads, carrying different burdens;
Straining under separate loads, we draw our separate curtains.
We’re trapped in different madnesses as we move through different days --
And we live with separate sadnesses ... as we go our separate ways.

Chorus


Bridge
Let me write you a letter with my blood upon the sand
Something to remember me by when we’re no more hand-in-hand.
Let me paint you a picture, to hang inside your heart
Something to remember me by when we have grown apart.
Let me write you a poem to engrave in your mind
Something to remember me by when we’ve left each other far behind
Left each other far behind
