A Different Path
We walked a path, but not together
You walked it while danger slept
You walked it in sunny weather
You walked through on fields of heather
You walked while the streams ran wet
I walked this path under night's scowl
I fought through the walls of thorn
I struggled past each wail and growl
I dodged the claw and moonlit howl
I took the danger dark had born
We have walked the self-same way
But each at a different time
You, carefree, had room to play
I had no candles light the way
You saw your road and it was fine
I've seen the ways the route can be
I know the dangers that it holds
I clashed with things you'll never see
You speak of pleasantry to me
You were the one who stole its gold
