I’ve walked down this road a hundred times with you
and now I walk alone
the shadows still claim the darkness and the calm
and the night sky is still shining on my home
things have changed and the world has turned
the years go by and still we learn
but I walk now with an empty hand
to trace my steps, to understand
I learned to love, and I learned to hate
I dealt with all the problems our love would create
now it’s all laid out along this road
so I walk again, to find and to know
things have changed and the world has turned
the years go by and still we learn
but I walk now with an empty hand
to trace my steps, to understand
I can’t understand
I can’t understand
why I’d trade the now
for what I used to have
I can hear the whispers imbedded in the memories of mine
tugging at my shirt sleeve, to follow what I left behind
the sanctity of youth is just a walk down this road
so I walk again, to find and to know
things have changed and the world has turned
the years go by and still we learn
but I walk now with an empty hand
to trace my steps, to understand
