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 load heavy/
That you this desert fox was following with a load heavy/
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 calling 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 mine/
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 inside/
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 your love/
Was now a pocket 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/
