The Years In Between

(album: The Years In Between - 2019)

Quiet conversations
Words that broke the air
Distant observations
Of what was never there
You were asleep in your favourite chair
Lit by the TV screen
These things that I remember
From the years in between

The stereo played Denver
"Rocky Mountain High"
The needle scratched the surface
I wonder if that's why
I'm still out here trying to work out what it means
Trying to fix what's broken from the years in between

I wish you could see how far these dreams have come
Would you recognise me from who I was when I was young?
Some say I look a little like you

I left school behind me, moved away to find
If anything could fill this space you left behind
I found someone who holds me, she's my wife now, she's my queen
She repairs the heartache from the years in between

I wish you could see how far these dreams have come
Would you recognise me from who I was when I was young?
These days I look a little like you

The last thing I remember
The last time my hands held yours
Medication scattered across the kitchen floor
God, I hope you felt no pain on that amphetamine
Won't be long 'til I see you
Just a few years in between
It won't be too long until I see you
Just a few years in between
