Rene

Far too young and far between and faster everyday
 Falling like a freewheel liner, out on the cannonball grade
 Ain't much a man can do when his road twists and turn
 But hold tight to the wheel boy and steady on the curve
 Heart it beats in rhythm, and the mystery remains
 Now I'm dazed and distracted by the wave among the grain
 Dreamed of a hummingbird and raced him right on through the dawn
 Every thought and feeling lost in the rain that echoes on
 Hey hey, Rene I'm feeling so close to you now
 I would bend the mile back to you if you'd only show me how
 We are not meant for all this grieving, nor to keep all that we find
 So give that dancing hand to me and let's step into the night
 You can count them if you care to, all the years that come around
 Ain't we seen the best of them, ain't we covered a little ground
 Played it true and honest, no distance could undo
 Fate may draw the fiddle, but only time can call the tune
 Hey hey, Rene I'm feeling so close to you now
 I would bend the mile back to you if you'd only show me how
 We are not meant for all this grieving, nor to keep all that we find
 So give that dancing hand to me and let's step into the night
 If I should fall out on the road so many miles from home
 Please know I am not leaving, know you'll never be alone
 I'll be the tall trees on the mountain when you see them nod and sway
 I'll be the sunlight on your doorstep come to dance the dark away
 Hey hey, Rene I'm feeling so close to you now
 I would bend the mile back to you if you'd only show me how
 We are not meant for all this grieving, nor to keep all that we find
 So give that dancing hand to me and let's step into the night
 Yeah, give that dancing hand to me and let's step into the night
