[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] The sun sets on the eastern town The record shop is lighting up Among the people heading home I start along the road I knew Across the bridge, the western town A place I haven't seen for years I knew how close the crossing was But always turned back at the bridge [Pre-Chorus] For some reason I'm not afraid I follow where the wind is blowing [Chorus] Down the road I never came back to I walk along with the fading light There was something I wanted to see In the town I left without looking From the bridge I turn and look behind The eastern lights are growing small How could this place have been so close? It took me all these years to see [Verse 2] An old hill in the western town The roofs have changed to unfamiliar shades Of the two trees that stood together Only one is standing there I turn the corner to open sky It looks the way it always did Somewhere between joy and sadness The wind blows right through my body [Pre-Chorus] The window catches all the sky But I am nowhere in the glass [Chorus] Down the road I never came back to I walk along with the fading light Though the town has changed since I was here I'm glad that I could come at last Someone is crossing on the bridge They slip right past me as they go One set of footsteps fades away The wind moves down the quiet road [Instrumental Break] [No vocals] [Final Chorus] Down the road I never came back to I can still walk it here tonight The eastern town, the western town The same night falls over them both I look up at the sky I missed I slowly cross the bridge again The place I stayed away from so long Is just a town I've come to love [Outro] [Instrumental]
