Distant Memories

Distant Memories - Heartland Rock / Roots Rock Track An old wooden porch in the quiet of dusk, A box full of letters, a faded gold rust. Running barefoot through fields in the warmth of July, Chasing down dreams underneath an open sky. We built up our worlds out of sticks and of stone, Never once thinking we’d grow up alone. Oh, distant memories, like leaves on the wind, Tracing the places where our stories begin. A whisper of laughter, a shadow of tears, Echoing softly through all of these years. Though time keeps moving and turning the page, You stay forever untouched by the age. A train out of town on a cold winter night, Leaving the familiar for city hall lights. Chasing a promise, a heart full of fire, Stacking up hopes on a endless wire. We traded our innocence, bought into the grind, Leaving the sweet simple moments behind. Oh, distant memories, like leaves on the wind, Tracing the places where our stories begin. A whisper of laughter, a shadow of tears, Echoing softly through all of these years. Though time keeps moving and turning the page, You stay forever untouched by the age. Now looking back through the lens of the gray, I see how the beauty was found in the day. Not in the victories, the fortune, or fame, But in every quiet moment that carried your name. Old wooden porch as the stars start to glow, Holding the life that I used to know. Distant memories... Fading into light. Goodnight, my sweet past, goodnight. #heartlandrock , #rootsrock .
