303 Revisited

On the 303 leading West To see the woman I love the best I wrote a song that made me sad About the first few friends I had When our world was young and the road was all we knew And we'd chase the sun 'til the afternoon Talking 'bout how the world is a stage You're born free 'til they put you in a cage In the old Coombe house where our hats were hung Music played and songs were sung And we had each other and we were filled with love Devil's behind us and Heaven's above With our hope alive and our hearts aflame Nothing to fear and no one to blame We together weathered many a storm Singing and laughing 'til the golden light of dawn I wish, I wish in vain We could be together that way again Like no tomorrow, like a flame in the dark Oh, nothing can hide what's inside my precious heart Everything was simple as one, two, three Everything that happened was meant to be But our eyes were closed, for we were not awake To think the road we travelled would ever shatter and break So many winters have passed and gone So many battles have been lost and won And still this road we travel and still it never ends I'll be waiting 'til we meet again I wish, I wish in vain We could be together in that way again Like no tomorrow, like a flame in the dark Oh, nothing can hide what's inside my precious heart
