Credits Roll: Cinematic Ballad

We counted miles by the seams in our coats

Shared the last match and the words we both owed

When the pass gave way beneath winter rain

You held the map while I steadied the flame

Every hard mile left its mark

Still, you kept your hand in mine

We came through the long road together

Past the breaking and into the clear

All the miles could not pull us asunder

You were there, and I was here

Now the morning is opening wide

And the years fall away like the weather

We are standing, still standing, together

We learned the names of the rivers by sound

Found a small room when the snow closed us down

Your laugh in the dark made the silence feel kind

I carried your courage; you carried mine

Every hard mile left its mark

Still, you kept your hand in mine

We came through the long road together

Past the breaking and into the clear

All the miles could not pull us asunder

You were there, and I was here

Now the morning is opening wide

And the years fall away like the weather

We are standing, still standing, together

If the road calls our names again

I will meet you where it bends

Not because the way is easy

But because we know the way

We came through the long road together

Past the breaking and into the clear

All the miles could not pull us asunder

You were there, and I was here

Let the whole wide horizon divide

Let it change every landmark forever

We are standing, still standing, together

Still standing together

You were there

I was here

Still together
