I've walked the path alot before
A new companion every time
Not knowing where I'd end up
Or how much of it was mine
The path was rough in places
Sometimes uphill sometimes down
At times it even appeared to be
Going round and round
So confident I walked it
So blindly trusting it is true
Oops I didn't see the pothole
When I walked the path with you
Where in stumbling before
You'd not have watched me fall
It seemed this hole was different
The beginnings of a wall
A wall you've built since that day
And made it oh so high
That it separates us clearly
And makes me want to cry
There is no way through that wall
But I can't go back the other way
Cuz that goes back to happiness
And we aren't there today
Fondly I remember
The flowers by the road
The apple trees, the butterflies
And people we had known
The path it seemed much longer
When we started on our way
I must admit I never thought
We'd be here today
So much we learnt those days
How little we now know
About the one we journeyed with
About where we would go
Never fearful was I on that path
That knew many laughs and tales
Words I remember and
The darkness they somehow veil
Our journey wasn't easy
But I'd do it all again
If it meant I wouldn't
Lose you as a friend.
