Dave Wendelin: Music

A song about the promise of love, separate roads to travel, and missed chances that can't be brought back.

Not long ago we could sit by the road
And listen to the ocean roar.
We’d walk to the bay with the sun going down
Watch the lights coming on in the town.
Not long ago you could feel our love grow
When the touches were soft and slow.
How can it be that you and me
So close now so far apart
And it hurts to see that you and me
Apart can only be free.

Now the road passes by and we in our lives
Have rolled on just the same.
Somewhere on the way between then and today
We ran out of words to say
But how could I forget trying to see behind your eyes
In your heart it hopefully lies
And now I see but it’s too late it seems
On that point we both can agree
But the pain still burns when I hear your words
Why couldn’t you ever do that with me.
