Far in the Far Away

Days that used to be
The coming days that never were
But might have been

These are the missing days
We could have been with
Could have loved one another
And raised our kid

Instead of living apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met

Way down in the down along
The brighter path with Remlin rose
They're like frankincense so much

Days that could have been
Might have been but never were
Things just didn't work that way
I don't know why for sure

Instead we live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met

We are not who we were
We can't go back again
Back to that vanished year
Back to the might have been

These are the days
We must live instead
Each gone our separate ways
Wondering how it might have been

While we both live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't met

Living apart learning to forget of
Of loving others we haven't met
