It's been a while since I last saw or heard from you
or had something to tell
There ain't much I can say
Except how you've been,
where you're going And I hope it all goes well
So here they are,
those hollow words Between forgotten friends
But there we were,
not so long ago Playing let's pretend
Makes no difference now What I've been to
Where you go out to Or what we used to do
And we shall walk away None the wiser
Of who each other is Or what we'll turn into
And here they are,
empty
handshakes Familiar strangers
But
there we were,
knocking people's doors And seeking danger
It's been a while,
and it seems the time
Ain't such a hero But there we were,
in some distant past
Hiders and seekers
