Middle Of The Road

      Middle Of The Road

When you left there was an emptiness that wouldn’t leave.

I know our hearts fit together like an arm in a sleeve.

You were afraid that somehow you would be burned.

But, there is one thing that I have learned.

When two blend like the nectar of the gods,

You don’t fool around with those kind of odds.

 

It’s a long, long way to the middle of the road.

It often takes two to carry a heavy load.

We must meet there , or so I’ve been told.

It’s a long way to the middle of the road.

 

Together we could have bonded & became as one.

We would have flown into a blinding sun.

We could have stayed together for eternity.

We still could. Just you and me.

If you’ll come back to me once more.

I will love you forever more.

 

It’s a long, long way to the middle of the road.

It often takes two to carry a heavy load.

We must meet there, or so I’ve been told.

It’s a long way to the middle of the road.

 

Time goes by & people do change.

Changes don’t always have to bring pain.

Sometimes people change together.

Come what may through any weather.

When the spirits bind & the heart is one.

It only means there will be more fun.

 

It’s a long, long way to the middle of the road.

It often takes two to carry a heavy load.

We must meet there, or so I’ve been told.

It’s a long way to the middle of the road.
