The Ride

music & lyrics by David Rogue © 2009

 

Well the years have all gone by

And they’ve taken us

They’ve taken us for a very long ride

Some of us have come and gone

The rest of us have tried to carry on

The years have come and gone

And what have we

What have we all really done?

Some of us have come and gone

The rest of us will try to carry on

And silently the years go by

They take you for a ride

You were there

Now you’re not there

You’re no longer by my side

And I don’t know

If this ride is still for me

 

I remember some time long ago

When I saw your hair

It was glistening all aglow

In the sun when we were young

Surely our whole lives were still to come

And I remember

The very first day we met

It was the kind of day

The kind of day I could never forget

You told me that I was the one

And I tried to deny what was to come

And silently the years go by

They take you for a ride

You were there

Now you’re not there

You’re no longer by my side

And I don’t know

If this ride is still for me

 

We used to hold hands

As we walked along the shore

And I realize now

That won’t happen anymore

How can I carry on?

When my whole life has already gone?

And silently the years go by

They take you for a ride

You were there

Now you’re not there

You’re no longer by my side

And I don’t know

If this ride is still for me

Well, you were my whole world

So I sit here now

With a picture from when you were my girl
