The Years In Between

Quiet conversations
Words that broke the air
Distant observations
Of what was never there
You were asleep in your favourite chair
Lit by the TV screen
These things that I remember
From the years in between

The stereo played Denver
Rocky Mountain High
The needle scratched the surface
I wonder if that's why
I'm still out here trying
To work out what it means
Trying to fix what's broken
From the years in between

I wish you could see how
Far these dreams have come
Would you recognise me
From who I was when I was young?
Some say I look a little like you

I left school behind me, moved away to find
If anything could fill this space you left behind
I found someone who holds me
She's my wife now
She's my queen
She repairs the heartache
From the years in between

I wish you could see how
Far these dreams have come
Would you recognise me
From who I was when I was young?
These days I look a little like you

The last thing I remember
The last time my hands held yours
Medication scattered across the kitchen floor
God, I hope you felt no pain on that amphetamine
Won't be long 'til I see you
Just a few years in between
It won't be too long until I see you
Just a few years in between
