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 until the afternoon
Talking about how the world is a stage
You're born free till 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
Devils behind us and Heavens above

With hope alive and our hearts aflame
Nothing to fear and no one to blame
We together weathered many a storm
Singing and laughing till the golden light of dawn

I wish, I wish in vain -
That 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 till we meet again

I wish, I wish in vain -
That we could be together in that way again
Like no tomorrow, like a flame in the dark
Oh, there's nothing that can hide what's inside my precious heart
