[Verse 1 — Lyden] There’s a street I never walked down, A day that never came. Linda and I passed through the same world Without ever learning each other’s names. The years kept turning; I stayed the same, Watching seasons leave their marks. I thought forever would feel empty Till I found lights in the dark. [Verse 2 — Lyden] Glinta found me by the old school gate, Said, “Come on, you’ve been alone too long.” Roxy raced ahead through the autumn leaves, And Winka chased her with a storm. Slyx left frost across the windowpane, Tanaki built a place to hide. Four foxes made a home of every road, And Glinta walked beside me. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t hold back the years, I can’t make the world stand still. But when the night grows quiet, I hear them laughing still. [Chorus] We never met, but I still found friends, Hands to hold when the daylight ends. Fire, frost, stone and wind, Glinta calling, “Lyden, come on in.” And Kylint, my first love, stayed with me Through every change I couldn’t see. One road vanished around the bend; We never met, but I still found friends. [Verse 3 — Kylint] I loved you long before you told me Why your face would never change. You watched the years ahead of us As though they’d carry me away. I took your hand outside our doorway And said, “Let’s live the day we have.” I never left you there alone, Lyden; We went inside and laughed. [Verse 4 — Lyden] Roxy curls beside the fireplace, Slyx sleeps where the curtains sway. Tanaki guards the garden path, Winka steals my scarf away. Glinta brings another story, Kylint calls us in for tea. I’ve lived through more years than I can count, But I remember evenings like these. [Pre-Chorus] Linda has a life somewhere Beyond the streets I know. I hope she has a table full of voices And somewhere warm to go. [Chorus] We never met, but I still found friends, Hands to hold when the daylight ends. Fire, frost, stone and wind, Glinta calling, “Lyden, come on in.” And Kylint, my first love, stayed with me Through every change I couldn’t see. One road vanished around the bend; We never met, but I still found friends. [Bridge — Lyden & Kylint] Lyden: When I’m afraid of all the years to come, Kylint: Come sit with me beneath the sun. Lyden: I used to think I’d face them on my own. Kylint: Look around you. You’re already home. [Final Chorus — All] We never met, but I still found friends, Voices calling when the daylight ends. Fire, frost, stone and wind, Glinta laughing as the foxes run in. And Kylint, my first love, stayed with me; We made a life from what could be. The years roll on, the seasons end— We never met, but I still found friends. [Outro — Lyden] Somewhere, Linda walks a different road. I wish her joy wherever it goes. Here, Kylint reaches for my hand, And our friends are waiting just ahead.
