Middle Ground (2002)   Uncommon Bond I’m was just like an old man on the bench outside the bank I use to come home late and pick something up to heed that constant call It was always the menace on my road, cause I never knew just how far I’d go We had a little baby, she was lying in your arms All dressed up in her hat and coat and boots and mitts and scarf You chose to run, but I didn’t go, I just held her like I held you years ago And that gold will lie in wait til you come home Though we walk on different paths, you are still my own Cause we share and effortless constant in this crazy world And uncommon bond We were trapped and wild like fish in a bowl Swimming around and around til the currents cast a wall from a fragile shoal And our brains were muddy and our eyes weren’t clear And you drifted on a salty stream of tears And that gold will lie in wait til you come home Though we walk on different paths, you are still my own Cause we share and effortless constant in this crazy world And uncommon bond There was a bond in the way, you held me on that day and you told me not to cry all alone An uncommon bond in the loving words I told you everyday, when I held you close eyes closed tight in the dark Now I’m gonna let it fly, I’m sick of lying everyday Standing here pretending I don’t love in that same old way Not a fool alive stands further from the truth, And I’m a lot further now than I was in my youth And that gold will lie in wait til you come home Though we walk on different paths, you are still my own Cause we share and effortless constant in this crazy world And uncommon bond
