The road makes all the difference

What a strange and twisting road
And where it leads, to what horizons
I cannot begin to guess
And yes, I have tried to arrange
The hills it passes by, the rivers
Fragments of an azure sky
But even I could not create this
Better than I would have wished
Each faint wild call, adventure’s kiss
Like echoes, all—-the journey waits
The winding curves
And another path set by the Fates
I know it’s just a dream
I know it’s just a dream—it can’t be you
But you’re standing there and oh, I swear
I wish that it were true!
I seem to have lost my breath
It’s futile now, and anyway
There’s truly nothing more to say
Just stay on this road another moment
While the moon calls to the stars
The night falls all around us
And steals away my sight
But that’s all right—I still see you
Silent shadow reminding me of what
Turns on this road were lost, and how the cost has been
More than I ever thought I’d pay
But say—this road could take me anywhere
So far, so near, but I don’t care
As long as I can hear
Your footsteps lightly by my side
My journey can begin—I feel
The ocean thrumming through my skin
Autumn wind—and isn’t it strange
Of all the ways my road could change
The call has always stayed the same?
