Oh god is that really you and after all of these years Must have been out of my mind, I didn’t know you were here Got caught up with a friend, we went out for a ride then we stopped in for a drink and just to murder some time
Tell, me how have you been, hope you been keeping warm are you still there in the city or did you move to that farm and all those plans that you made, did you see them all through or did you take it in stride and do the best you could do?
There are lies we never tell but we mean them just the same There are feelings that we feel that there are no words to say
Me, I’m doing just fine, nothing much has changed except a wife and a child and a home on the range I still sit up all night, writing songs for no one I go to sleep with the sun and with my room all undone I still keep telling myself I’ll be discovered some day If only time is the cost, then the price I’ll have paid to build my legacy, my philosophies, lost immortality
There are lies we tell our selves, sometimes others go along There are feelings that we feel even though we know they’re wrong.
OK we’re back in the room and I must confess I saw you right from the start cause you were wearing that dress But when I looked at you, your eyes looked away so I turned to me friend and wished that you’d go away Because there’s nothing to say, I like to tell myself there’s nothing left to say when there’s too much to say, I always tell myself there’s nothing left to say
There are times when all we have it still seems so far away and there are nights when all we want doesn’t seem like much to me and there are fears we never say, cause we hope they’ll go away and there are secret tears we shed as we turn our backs in bed
There are lies we never tell but we meant to anyway and there are things we’ve never felt, but we said them anyway.
