Verse:

               
The last time I took this ride
                      
We made great plans, we felt alive
             
Heading South from countryside
                      
Into a city of hopes and dreams
               
How our young hearts laughed and cried
                      
How we stood strong, side by side
            -              (Play  quickly on the change)
Never thought we'd say goodbye
              
To anything but you

Chorus

         
I remember everything
                 
Fighting darkness, chasing rain
               
I guess that was yesterday
                    
But it feels so long ago
             
Whispered songs on radio
               
Take me back to what I know
                             
It all seemed so beautiful to me---
                                         
The journey's end is here 

Verse (same chords):

Faces line these old town roads
Soft guitars, piano notes
Linger in the air like ghosts
With nothing left to say
Shadowed seasons brought you home
Brighter days have come and gone
Someone somewhere called you on
We could not follow you

Chorus (same chords except where noted):

I think I spoke the faithful line
That things don't leave or break or die
We'll raise your body to the sky
Before we lay it down
Now it seems the only path
Is the one we traveled fast
Destinations cut like glass
Into our history
                  
The journey's end is here 

Bridge:


I see an unclosed door

Where duty used to stand

I'm going South once more
                                       
To make it on those plans

Verse (same chords):

Every station fades from view
Like the years bestowed on you
But years can be like diamonds too
They sparkle and they shine
But when at last we meet again
I'll shake your hand
I'll call you friend
Sometimes one journey has to end 
                    -         
To let another start
