In the clearing Lyrics

We were running in the same night trying to outrun the pain

The shadows of our youth were calling out our names

Somehow we stumbled through we found our separate ways

But I thought we'd meet again on some brighter day

But now you've stepped off the path into the clearing at the end

I thought we'd find each other again my friend

I don't know if I miss you but it feels like I should

In the quiet I wonder if we did all we could

I always thought you stayed away 'cause you were doing fine

Breaking from the past just like I did with mine

We both knew how easy it was to slip back in

But I was proud that you stayed away resisting where we'd been

If I had known I'd have called you up one more time before the end

I'd have said "I always thought we'd meet again my friend"

But life has a way of slipping through and I lost track of you

Now I just hope that where you are the sky is endless and blue

You've stepped off the path into the clearing where the shadows fade

I thought we'd find each other again but it wasn't our fate

It will be a long time from now but I'll see you again

When I finally step off into that clearing my friend

And I'll walk this road till my day is done

And we'll meet again in the setting sun

In the clearing at the end of the path where the shadows fade away

I'll see you there my friend on some distant day

You've stepped off the path into the clearing where the shadows fade

I thought we'd find each other again but it wasn't our fate

It will be a long time from now but I'll see you again

When I finally step off into that clearing my friend

And I'll walk this road till my day is done

And we'll meet again in the setting sun

In the clearing at the end of the path where the shadows fade away

I'll see you there my friend on some distant day
