For Tim
They say that I'll see you once again
They say that you're just around the bend
They say that you're standing by my side
but they say that you're just along for the ride
My world diminishes daily
without you in my life
My will to live is failing
and nothing has been right
since that cold October night
when you lost your way
I need you now more than ever before
but what could stop you walking out that door
Your time was up, or so they all told me
You've heard the call and now you've been set free
Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
Why does every road I walk, I walk alone?
Or maybe it just seems that way, maybe it's not true
and maybe all this time I've shared this road with you.
I can see you sinking in that sand
Can you see me holding out my hand?
I've been standing by you through and through
The times you could not walk, I carried you
Your world diminishes daily
but I'm still in your life
And when your will to live is failing, remember:
you were never out of sight
even on that lonely night
when you lost your way
Find your way back home
