(first verse)
climbing out, as I was
from my own personal hell
feeling that old clutch of emptiness
grab at me
ya, even now I can tell
that you're gonna be there for me
If I reach out for you
cause that's just how you are
and what you'd do
(second verse)
as yer no reflection in
just anybody's rear view mirror
you're the real deal
the pretty scenery that
stays with me
no matter where I go
that long trek down a
gully
just to better see up
at the sky
as the heavens put on
another spectacular show
how I love that love for love
that lives in the human eye
(chorus)
see
there are thieves in life
and givers of hope
burglars of love
and mourners
who can't cope
but we're on our own
no longer travelin' alone
that's just not us
we've realized this
for more than
'two Summer Day's Long'
(third verse)
the years are fast jogging into history
but you've come back to meet me
I knew you'd not leave me to walk
alone again for very long
you stepped out for but just a moment
and came right back
signaling to a sad searching soul
with that voice I'd know anywhere
it was always there in the background
of my life's unhurried song
cause you are my tender melody
and I your long road back home
cause........
(repeat chorus)
see there are thieves in life
and givers of hope
burglars of love
and mourners who
can't cope
but we're on our own
no longer travelin' alone
that's just not us
we've realized this
for more than
'Two Summer Days Long'
(fourth verse)
now
all I ask
is that you
come and sit a spell beside
me
and I'll no longer mind all
this life's hardships....................
cause
as you know...........
(repeat chorus)
see there are thieves in life
and givers of hope
burglars of love
and mourners who
can't cope
but we're on our own
no longer travelin' alone
that's just not us
we've realized this
for way more than
two summer days' long..............
(strum slowly out)
and that my dear friends is the end
to this here pretty song......................
