Half The Way Home

(альбом: Heart Over Mind - 1990)

It was two country miles from your house to mine
When we were just kids untouched by time
I'd ask you to walk me home part of the way
Then I'd walk you back some and we'd stop to play
So it would go till daylight was gone
Walking each other half the way home

It's been too rare to find a friendship as true
And I felt the same faced walking with you
Sharing our feelings from deep down inside
Wakes you from the heart what we've since learned to hide
Of all that I've done the best thing I've known
Was walking a good friend half the way home

We should put some miles on that windey dirt road
Talking of life and how far we could go
It was early one summer and dreams were still new
The last time I walked it with you

I've come two thousand miles after way too much time
I've burned up the road to your house from mine
I hope it's not too late to talk for a while
Cause God's got you walking your last lonely mile
And I knew you'd be too scared to do it alone
So I've come to walk you half the way home
