[Verse 1]
Oh, I think you're lost to me
Just a stranger I will never see
I drove away and I walked out that door
But you had left us long before

[Verse 2]
The year we spent there was strange and slow
Like all the cars in that rare southern snow
We ventured out without a plan or fear
Probably not a great idea

[Verse 3]
It's not about the things I wanted then
I've come to see now that I couldn't have used them
All the same it's true that even now
I'd like to talk to you somehow

[Verse 4]
I'd want to find out if you've heard that song
I'd want to tell you mine are coming along
Your family's well and healthy I suppose
I'm really curious to know

[Verse 5]
In the dimness of those last days' gloom
While I was packing up the spare bedroom
You came and offered me a solemn word
About a voice you'd often heard
[Verse 6]
It was a moment when I saw inside
A little break from all that stoic pride
Do I think now that this would ring a bell?
You know I couldn't even tell you

[Verse 7]
Oh, my friend, you're lost to me
Another a stranger I will never see
Oh, my friend, you're lost to me
Another a stranger I will never see
