I remember when we thought we had forever in our hands.
I remember the day the music died.
The Road - Emmylou Harris
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?
Such a fire in our belly, such a hunger in our souls
I guess I've grown to love you
in those words roll off the tongue
Seems that we were traveling, under some old 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, gone a long way
Won't be coming 'round again
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 reason
And every blessing has its cost
So I took what you left me
Put it to some use
When looking for an answer
With those three chords and the truth
I come down from the mountain
I come walking in your shoes
I was taken for a gambler
When I had no more to lose
For you put me on that pathway
How could I refuse
And I've spent my whole life out here
Working on the blues
So I've carried on
You can't be haunted by the past
People come, people go
And nothing ever lasts
But I still think about you
Wonder where you are
Can you see me from someplace
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
Hey, gone a long way
Won't be coming 'round again
Hey, with a song I pray
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away
3 years. Rest well, my friend, my family, my conscience, my little sister.
