Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEC FGC HHC HFC IJC BHC KLC BMC NOHC| I look to you from eye to eye | A |
| But only see your back | B |
| Forever further down the road | C |

| Love marches feeling side by side | D |
| But steps from back to front | E |
| Forever further down the road | C |
| - | |
| The gap between becomes a moat | F |
| That has no beam to span | G |
| Forever down the road | C |

| No eye to eye no beams or motes | H |
| Just woody tear filled orbs | H |
| Forever down the road | C |
| - | |
| But arms length can be very close | H |
| And time dries out that moat | F |
| Forever further down the road | C |
| - | |
| And then you fade you re out of sight | I |
| But I am not alone | J |
| Forever down the road | C |
| - | |
| As you my new now see my back | B |
| Receive my backward words | H |
| Forever down the road | C |
| - | |
| You and I in syncopation | K |
| Our places now reversed | L |
| Forever further down the road | C |
| - | |
| You find it strange to see my back | B |
| Don t let your marching falter | M |
| Forever down the road | C |
| - | |
| Remember this your time has come | N |
| In sadness I m content to know | O |
| Your back I ll never see | H |
| Further down your road | C |
