Rising with the sun Racing down that steep hill Faster still Out there as the night falls Sneaking home to bed Hiding in the long grass Stealing sweets and Sweetheart kisses Late back home for tea-time With keepsakes and dreams Might-have-beens One day we rode out Side by side For the last time Nobody there Knew we'd not Ride together again Some of us remained We fashioned all our hopes into music Then, running out of time We moved along Drifting far from sight But held in place like circling satellites Or bookmarks on a page You can find once again Stories and old friends Turned more pages Moved further along Got our skates on Found a new home For our words For our songs For our hopes Then late in the night Came a storm And the brightest star fell And everything is gone now Time is a river The shore out of reach Heading downstream Where the water is too deep Life is an ocean I am lost out at sea Looking for safe harbour A light that's calling me Out of the darkness Out of the night I knew you'd shine Be there at my side Riding to the rescue once again My dear old friends
