Decades

Kind eyes, true, vivid, bold

They move across the sky like a boat

When inches beg themselves to be feet

She pulls the pages over her head like sheets

Fools gold, bright sterile stone

She strikes against the fire she turns to coal

And wakes from dreams of engine steam

And still, she lies like a plastic figurine

Another decade gone, failed in vain

A city stained in a warm spring rain

Close your eyes feel the warmth settin' in

No place to start, nowhere to begin

Lost smile, how you'd disappear

Too soon you left, now I'm tasting salty tears

Next time I will tell you everything

And we'll dance to the fiddle and the silver tambourine

Another decade gone, failed in vain

A city stained in a warm spring rain

Close your eyes feel the warmth settin' in

No place to start, nowhere to begin

Woodsmoke, thick pungent air

She wipes away her eyes she turns away

And briefly forgets how far it is

Back to the mountains and the cool streams she's missed

Another decade gone, failed in vain

A city stained in a warm spring rain

Close your eyes feel the warmth settin' in

No place to start, nowhere to begin

Another decade gone, fade away

Another decade gone, fade away

Another decade gone, fade away

Another decade gone, fade away
