The Handing Down |
| The handing down, the handing down |
| Maybe the truth will not be shown |
| And the dark will just roll on and on, roll |
| O three rivers where’s that star you once |
| Held above my faded dreams |
| Heart worn more than some I guess |
| But I’m still holding at the seams |
| Still holding at the seams |
| Scarecrow holds an hourglass |
| Above the cross roads for me |
| Filled with tears and twilight |
| From a friend’s dying day |
| Here’s a turkey feather for his favourite hat |
| And a love letter from the ace of spades |
| A love letter from the ace of spades |
| An anchor in the crown |
| Of Queen Anne’s lace and chicory |
| A charm, a charm to drive away |
| All the heartaches I gave |
| All the goodbyes and the 'I love you’s' |
| I said but not in time |
| But mine is the heart of lonesome pine |
| And the choices weren’t always mine |
| The choices weren’t always mine |
