I guess we did what we thought we had to But what we did wasn't right Prouder than we should have been Too many times we walked away Now I always knew there'd be questions And I know what we tried to do You were something special There was nothing simple about you They say what's right isn't wrong I think that I'll make a wager You carried along until you felt out of danger I wrote you this song so won't you do me a favor When it's my turn to fall, you'll catch me sooner than later Now I'm missing those times tonight Dark was dark and light was light No one knew you better and nobody tried harder They say what's right isn't wrong I think that I'll make a wager You carried along until you felt out of danger I wrote you this song so won't you do me a favor When it's my turn to fall you'll catch me sooner than later I saw you standing by the road yesterday I saw your shadow fall across my way
