Passing Headlights

We took the road behind the school You wore my coat,

I played it cool

The radio was barely clear

We sang the words we couldn't hear

We parked beside the empty field And spoke of things we'd never

been

The years have changed the town we knew

But I still keep that part of you

We were more than passing headlights More than names upon a wall

We had nowhere we were going

We had room enough for all

If the years have made us strangers

If the road has turned us round

There's a place inside the music

Where we still can all be found

I saw your brother yesterday

He said you moved a world away

I drove beyond the old arcade

The fields are houses now,

he said

I stopped to watch a window glow

A different life, a different home

I don't need time to take me

back

I carry what it couldn't take

We were more than passing headlights More than names upon a wall

We had nowhere we were going

We had room enough for all

If the years have made us strangers

If the road has turned us round

There's a place inside the music

Where we still can all be found

I was scared of growing older Of the things I couldn't keep

Now I hear you in the chorus And the years don't feel

so deep

We are more than passing headlights More than names upon a wall

There is somewhere we are going

There is room enough for all

Let the years give us their changes

Let the road keep winding round

There's a place inside the music

Where we still can all be found

In the music

We can still be found
