Abilene

I had a dream of Abilene,
a city I've never seen.

I had a dream of Abilene,
I had no idea it was the beginning
of our end.

Or maybe it's the beginning of the beginning,
a better day or three.

I had a dream of Abilene,
it was you,
but I thought it was me.

I had a dream of Abilene,
and all our children
in the woods.

I had a dream of Abilene,
it couldn't be true,
but it was.

Oh, Abilene, I'll never know you,
but a place I circled around
in this vision.

I won't ever go there,
there's no reason now,
just a city of my mind
with roads of fading light
and your

infinite falling
I can't follow down
tonight.

Again

friends again...

friends!

after so many years,
so many experiences,
so many years...

and love,
and hate,
and laughter,

(secret languages created
secret signs forgotten)

and brawls,
and so much smoke
between us,

andlustmixedupwithlovemixedupwithlust,

and lies (of course)

and the torture
and the mystery...

friends again!

loyal for all of this...
loving for all of this...
trusting for all of this.

friends,
finally,
friends.

can it be really true?

let the years pass
and we will find out.

but how happy I am
right now
my i cannot say,

and i admit
i'm not used to being this joyous,
let alone over something
this simple and pure,

who knows if this will hold,
or it will be all the rest -

but for right now we two are better
then all of my words
in this world.

we are the miracle
of friends
again.
