Turn your head son, walk by those old dreams buried
Hearts wimpier to angels flying too close to the ground
Sorrow bends and moves souls past regret and sound
Old feelings claw the way to the surface as need
A whisper warm touch of want pauses in a moment given
Embers spark back to fire extinguished long ago


We stop by the river edge my friend and I
she puts her hand in mine I am lost in her sad blue eyes
a drifting in space as a cool breeze takes us down life's path
so well she aged and so well she lived always correct and there
husband passed on, children grown, grey has graced her auburn hair
every stop on life's path takes a bit of you and every path creates you a new

We stop by the river edge my friend and I
I held her close told it was okay to cry
a slow filled sob filled those eyes
time is cruel and a joy in view
love takes second place

We stop by the river edge my friend and I
I told her it was okay to move on
but once again I lied
no pain no gain
always we try
glass is full

We stop by the river edge my friend and I
my heart broke as I said goodbye
no gift is lost or gained by death
in the breeze I relieve her pain
I in sun call her sweet name
On dew grass kiss her lips

We stop by the river edge my friend and I
she puts her hand in mine I am lost in her sad blue eyes
a drifting in space as a cool breeze takes us down life's path
so well she aged and so well she lived always correct and there
husband passed on, children grown, gray has graced her auburn hair
every stop on life's path takes a bit of you and every path creates you a new

The world is full of life in every breath you take
forget reason just live for no one is with out mistakes
time forgives every step in a world born of man
woman holds love when and where she can
A time and place for every smile and tear
Back to the wind heart and soul left alone
