When the world has forgotten
and only a wisp of a memory remains
I will travel the lands and tell your story.

I've got tales for a lifetime,
they'll never grow old and they're as true as any truth can be,
for eternity, eternity!

We travelled together
through desert sands and through snow falling on mountains and plains,
oh, we were like brothers in search of glory!

You ran beside me,
oh, we were alive, as alive as only lovers should be,
together, together.

Then you went away,
you left me to cry,
was never given a chance to say goodbye!

Together under the sun in the sky,
together we watched the clouds roll by.
If only I knew what I couldn’t see
so you’d come back to me!

Together all through the moonlit night
I held your hand as the stars burned bright.
I’m still waiting, there’ll be no need to explain
if you’ll come back again!

We hunted together,
took pride in our catch even when there was so little to share.
We were like brothers, our dreams like stories.

You lay beside me,
was sharing our camp really just a way to ward off the cold?
So close together?

When you went away,
tell me, did you cry?
What I wouldn't give to ask you why!

Together under the sun in the sky,
together we watched the clouds roll by.
If only I knew what I couldn’t see
so you’d come back to me!

Together all through the moonlit night
I held your hand as the stars burned bright.
I’m still waiting, there’ll be no need to explain
if you’ll come back again!

Whatever it was that I failed to see
oh please come back to me!


I’ve had a draft version of this song sitting around for about three years. Originally it featured piano, organ, guitar, drums and bass, but that just didn’t create the right mood for this story. Recently a friend suggested I should try throwing out the piano and use an orchestra instead. Now it sounds like a number from a musical. I think that works much better.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed making it
