Lyrics
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 truth 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 darker 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 that I'll meet you there
There in the shadow at the edge of the road
There is a shadow at the edge of the road
