(Verse 1) I walked the line for forty years or more Behind a different name and a different door Then I saw you standing by the station light A ghost from a dream in the middle of the night The wrinkles traced the maps of where we’d been Across the miles and the years in between. (Pre-Chorus) And all the roads we didn't take Were written in the breath we’d break It’s a long way back to who we were... (Chorus) And now, we’re stars in a different sky I saw doubt burning in your eye A lifetime lived in the blink of a stare Of a love we left hanging in the air But I’m at peace with the way the river flows Where the story ends, nobody knows. (Verse 2) We talked of kids and the houses we built Without the anger and without the guilt For a moment there, the clock began to rewind To the boy and the girl that we left behind But the train is coming and the whistle blows That’s just the way that the memory goes. (Chorus) And now, we’re stars in a different sky I saw doubt burning in your eye A lifetime lived in the blink of a stare Of a love we left hanging in the air But I’m at peace with the way the river flows Where the story ends, just maybe, you know. (Outro) Go your way, I’ll go mine. We were beautiful, once upon a time.
