Drawbridge
Coming to the drawbridge
And by "drawbridge"
I mean you
Taking me right into my past
Both fellow walker and path
How long since you saw her last?

We've gone by
I mean last time you saw me
I called you funny
And who was I
When I could only guess about loss?
Where it takes you when
You can no longer call

Puddles into the stream
Into the river, ocean between
Live water under out feet
Let me see who in the world
You could now be
Let me walk you through
This afternoon

Where will wе begin?
I'm coming to the town
That you now live in
Admittеdly oblivious to
The fact that the drawbridge
Now remains pulled
Puddles into the stream
Into the river
Didn't puzzle me
When we said "Later"
What did you mean?
I wanted to know who we have been
So I might know how far I've flown
