Something happened to us down that road
As I turned back to see and you were gone
A minute ago you were right beside
A minute ago you were right beside
and I thought myself we'd always belong
But suddenly it was a vast empty space
But suddenly it was a vast empty space
Just like the desert that trail we'd been on
I looked around there's nothing there but cactus and flies
I looked around there's nothing there but cactus and flies
And yet familiar there ringing out that lover's song

Something happened to us down that road
I gazed the trail to see what I could find
Just an empty space there like a ghostly town
Just an empty space there like a ghostly town
With things left for dead and left behind
I wondered if you would ever catch upon me
I wondered if you would ever catch upon me
Thinking how you might be way laid
So I stayed out in that bitter night
So I stayed out in that bitter night
With the high moon risen up just to hear me say

Something happened to us down that road
And I knew for once I could finally see
That you this desert fox was following with a heavy load
That you this desert fox was following with a heavy load
A pain in your heart was staring back at me
You had the eyes that said we be a knowing
You had the eyes that said we be a knowing
You drew me up knowing my very soul
Calling to me hey there my sonny boy
How come you travel so slow
Refrain:
Refrain:
You know I've been down the road and back again
And a hoping all along that you come find me
That you'd somehow be wishing me on your mind
Just like it was the way you used to show me
Just like it was the way you used to show me

Something happened to us down that road
Its when I caught a simple glimpse of you
With your gentle hand as you stuck it into my hand
And a dream so gently like I recall its stirring
I watch as you twinkled in your moonlit eyes
I watch as you twinkled in your moonlit eyes
You looked so deep inside of this soul fool barren
It was something I didn't ever expect
It was something I didn't ever expect
You just a standing there straight between and staring
Refrain:
Refrain:
You said you know sonny boy I've been holding
This hand of yours for a couple thousand years
But something ain't quite right with you my love
Joking aside maybe its all in between your fears

Something happened to us down that road
You laughed I told you that I loved you like a times upon times
You laughed I told you that I loved you like a times upon times
I did not say it with my voice though with my thoughts
But as quiet as you pretend lover you still can read the signs
So I stood back just wonder at to all that was you
But as quiet as you pretend lover you still can read the signs
So I stood back just wonder at to all that was you
Like it was writing and birthing before my eyes
And along me just the stumbling sacred fool
All caught up in rapture and acting out my true surprise
Refrain:
She whispered in my ear I've seen you Sonny boy
Just shivering out there in your self made cold
So just so you know I was standing there by your fire light
Watching you feeling lonesome and so forlorn
6.
Something happened to us down that road
And I will surely never ever forget
Where once I had been captured by lies and mislaid
Where once I had been captured by lies and mislaid
Wandering alone way out in this desert sweat
Was now a pocket full of full of your love
Was now a pocket full of full of your love
With your hand strong and tender, and with a peace to guide
For somebody said to themselves once upon a time
For somebody said to themselves once upon a time
That this singer surely needs a heart to hide
Refrain:
You knew long before I could ever sing it
On what my soul did need
And it came out with soul like that Mississippi waters
And it came out with soul like that Mississippi waters
Running ever onward deep beneath my feet

Something happened to us down that road
And grateful it would be defined
For the hands, for the heart, for the love, for the eyes,
For the hands, for the heart, for the love, for the eyes,
For your steadfast a lover's soul would stand there so divine
You stood by me like a lover's vigil
You stood by me like a lover's vigil
Just to tell me how this love it would all go down
I took my pride out of my heart just then
I took my pride out of my heart just then
and laid before down before you with my sword on the ground
Refrain:
Refrain:
As we walked past to both looked back
Just to see that false pride leave and our exhale
To be gone with that nasty breath not full of love
To be gone with that nasty breath not full of love
But for a soul so ghostly and so pale

Something happened to us down that road
And ah yes we can surely tell
That this is what it is like to fight for love
That this is what it is like to fight for love
This is what its like to take your love off the shelf
What its like to move way past the moonlight
What its like to move way past the moonlight
With tears and regret far behind us now girl
To look straight ahead underneath this lover's starlight...
Cause you there sonny girl I can see it in your eyes
yes yes yes... something happened to us down that road
yes yes yes... something happened to us down that road
