I'll see you down the road Wherever that may be In this life or the next May you find a better me You said we'd be together Forever in eternity In a place of joy and love Not this world of enmity But I strayed into the darkness The barren wilderness of my mind A place where love cannot be found To all the good things I was blind Love faded inside me I could not feel or give That love that came so easy When you really helped me live Joy became a stranger Love almost a foe Misery was my bedfellow I began to die, not grow I saw you from a distance With a smile upon your face In my mind was envy That you could live with grace For you life seemed so easy You took it in your stride Appreciating what you had While I could not abide Trapped alone in darkness I could not find a way To the light that I so needed To help me live each day You were there before me Hiding in plain sight But I didn't think to ask you To be my guiding light But if I ever do break free From depression's dark embrace I hope that we can meet again In a better time and place

Somewhere Down The Road
I'll see you down the road Wherever that may be In this life or the next May you find a better me You said we'd be together Forever in eternity In a place of joy and love Not this world of enmity But I strayed into the darkness The barren wilderness of my mind A place where love cannot be found To all the good things I was blind Love faded inside me I could not feel or give That love that came so easy When you really helped me live Joy became a stranger Love almost a foe Misery was my bedfellow I began to die, not grow I saw you from a distance With a smile upon your face In my mind was envy That you could live with grace For you life seemed so easy You took it in your stride Appreciating what you had While I could not abide Trapped alone in darkness I could not find a way To the light that I so needed To help me live each day You were there before me Hiding in plain sight But I didn't think to ask you To be my guiding light But if I ever do break free From depression's dark embrace I hope that we can meet again In a better time and place
