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.
