Paroles de Long Before

Oh, I think you're lost to me Just a stranger I will never see I drove away And I walked out that door But you had left us long before The year we spent there was strange and slow Like all the cars in that rare Southern snow We ventured out without a plan or fear Probably not a great idea It's not about the things I wanted then I've come to see that I couldn't have used them All the same it's true that even now I'd like to talk to you somehow I'd want to find out if you've heard that song I'd want to tell you mine are coming along Your family's well and healthy, I suppose? I'm really curious to know In the dimness of those last days bloom While I was packing up the spare bedroom You came and offered me a solemn word About a voice you'd often heard It was a moment when I saw inside A little break from all that stoic pride Do I think now that this would ring a bell? You know I couldn't even tell you Oh my friend you're lost to me Another stranger I will never see Oh my friend you're lost to me Another stranger I will never see
