The Fragile Highway

Could the timing have been more right
Or was it just your time to leave
We're all waiting for your arrival
Please drive slow and safely

I hope you're feeling at home
In the warmth of his embrace
So far from here
But too close to us
I still see the smile on his face
And each day we assume
Incapable of loss or suffering
But he was here to remind me
That life is short lived
And don't waste your time

And i saw a reflection
Inside of the headlights
It was your face
And it looked so sad
To tell me that life
Is but a fleeting glance
A chance to make a difference
I'll try to listen closer next time

And each day we assume
Incapable of loss or suffering
But he was here to remind me
That life is short lived
And don't waste your time
And you have seen your ocean
You have served your purpose
And forget what they said
You have seen your ocean
