Shadow at the Edge of the Road

It's been many years since you've been around It's been many years since I've seen you smile It's been many a day since I heard you say There's peace in the shadow at the edge of the road I picked up my bag at first sign of the storm And I headed for someplace farther than normal Where the sun hides away on the brightest of days But casts a great shadow on the edge of the road How soon I forget how soon I had learned In two years of mountains one echo returned There was one there was two there was me there was you There in a shadow on the edge of the road There are no highways in the world where you live But there is a pathway of stars overhead If you swear then I'll swear then I'll meet you there There in a shadow at the edge of the road
