As we drove on through the Finger Lakes

Water shining at our side

I was wrestling the demons in my mind

But it seemed to me you were reaching for

Some places we'd never been

Where we'd leave the past

On some dark road behind

I will always come

If you need me

And I will never forget

The things you said

And in my hour of darkness

You will come to me

And I will raise up

My worried head

There's a line between what might have been

And where we stand today

There are roads we both know

We can never cross

But a voice comes down from history

And whispers in my ear

Don't waste the time

The time that isn't lost

I will always come

If you need me

And I will never forget

The things you said

And in my hour of darkness

You will come to me

And I will raise up

My worried head

I have walked by so many rooms

And watched you brooding in the dark

I spent my youth moving round you

Like a ghost

But the years go by

And the reasons die

That kept us far apart

Now the sun coming up each day's

What we need most

I will always come

If you need me

And I will never forget

The things you said

And in my hour of darkness

You will come to me

And I will raise up

My worried head
