The Handing Down
The handing down, the handing downMaybe the truth will not be shownAnd the dark will just roll on and on, rollOh three rivers, where’s that star you onceHeld above my faded dreamsHeart worn more than some I guessBut I’m still holding at the seamsStill holding at the seams.Scarecrow holds an hourglass Above the crossroads for meFilled with tears and twilightFrom a friend’s dying dayHere’s a turkey feather for his favorite hatAnd a love letter from the ace of spadesA love letter from the ace of spadesAn anchor in the crownOf Queen Anne’s lace and chicory A charm, a charm to drive awayAll the heartaches I gaveAll the goodbyes and the "I love you's"I said but not in timeBut mine is the heart of lonesome pineAnd the choices weren't always mineThe choices weren’t always mine
