Heaven help me if I tell you lies
And heaven help you if they’re true
And heaven help us both as we rush on by
And disappear from view
Without a glance backwards
Without a “God speed”
We let go of our handshakes to grab the things we need
But I will not waste much of your precious time
You’ve got deadlines to meet
But I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day on a Roman Road
The fastest century we’ve ever run
Off two thousand years of gaining speed
Majestic highways stretching ever on
But Rome isn’t where they lead
And the boom from momentum will shatter our hearts
And cut off our memories from where the feeling starts
And tear us all apart
But I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day on a Roman Road
Well there are cracks in the plaster in times of national disaster
But the future is waiting so we just walk a little faster
No time to catch up with the ever churning change
So instead of passion we got fashion, cool and vague
And it spreads just like the plague
But I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day
I’ll meet you again some day on a Roman Road
