There's an empty space between us
Though we're walking side by side
We stop and stare at our reflections
Two stranger drifting with the tide
The ebb and flood run thru tomorrow
Another strange and lonesome day
And in your eyes I see the sorrow
The current pulling you away
The winds blocking what you say
The fog rolled in off the water
Into the forrest of your mind
Frozen in the wheel of time
Sometime it's like you almost know me
The sun will peek in thru the mist
When I give a gentle kiss upon your head
I've known you since you were a child
The neighbor girl with the pretty smile
Asked for your hand before the war
You waited years while in the Corps
For fifty years we dance to the same song
We worked the farm until the kids were gone
But their mother left us years ago
She drifted off to sea...with her memory
The fog rolled in off the water
Into the forest of your mind
Frozen in the wheel of time
I hope you know that I still love you
The sun will peek in thru the mist
When I give a gentle kiss upon you head
There's an empty space between us
Though we're walking side by side
We stop and stare at our reflections
Two strangers drifting with the tide
