It's been a long time, friend    Since we've said much and then some    Sometimes I feel just fine    There are days I shrug    I think it's not meant at all    And I put down that pen and sigh       Chorus: you caught me by surprise    With that look in your eyes    And I wonder where you have gone    You have not kept me apprised    Of the tales of your life    And I wonder where you have gone       We lit up the night    But a spark's not a candle    It's as bright as a star's dying tears    When you looked at me    I saw more than just moonlight    I believed every word, every fear       Chorus       Now the wind's picked up    And the trees they are a-heavin'    Do you think that I'm to blame?    You could not bear    To wallow in this despair    You said I tried to make you change       Chorus
