Wedding Road

An envelope of heavy paper on my kitchen floor

A name I hadn't spoken since we walked out of that door

So I

bought a ticket, caught a train,

and rode it all alone

Heading to a crowded room of people we had known

And the glass was raised,

the room was bright (ooh-ooh) But I was hiding in the shadow

of the night

Expecting nothing

but a polite hello

Just a ghost from a life we used to know

He found me by the hallway where the coat racks line the

wall

He pulled me in a quiet room,

away from it all

He looked at me and said,

'My friend, when you walked away

It was the hardest thing we ever faced

back in that day'

But then he smiled and said,

'It made us who we are

Sometimes you have to break to see the rising star

It made us better men,

the miles we had to trace'

And I saw the years of heavy weight wash right off his

face And the glass was raised,

the room was bright (yeah!) And there was no more hiding in

the shadow of the night

We found our peace in the things we had to let go

Two better men

from the lives we used to know

We became better men...

(mmm-hmm) Better men in the end
