A once dear friend And I met up; Twenty years since we spoke, And neither one could talk. We left each other's company On terms of disagreement. The ice was thick; The air was clouded; We stood beneath the shade. The mountain didn't fall; The earth didn't swallow; The roof stayed on. Nothing cracked our uncertainty. Then we misquoted some old Misunderstood memories Of why we went our ways. And felt the same.

A once dear friend And I met up; Twenty years since we spoke, And neither one could talk. We left each other's company On terms of disagreement. The ice was thick; The air was clouded; We stood beneath the shade. The mountain didn't fall; The earth didn't swallow; The roof stayed on. Nothing cracked our uncertainty. Then we misquoted some old Misunderstood memories Of why we went our ways. And felt the same.
