A song about longing. Engineered by Anxcnt Awaken.

The Itch You Cannot Scratch
Ecclesiastes 3:9-15
Words and Music: John Underdown

V1- (It’s) the Kentucky woods;
(It’s) the Tennessee mountains;
(It’s) the Ohio River;
And the Atlantic Ocean;
It’s an old, old song,
Mixed with an old, old story;
(It’s) a nostalgic chord
From the days of glory.

Chorus- It’s the itch I (you) cannot scratch,
It’s the hole I (you) cannot patch
With my (your) own hands.
It’s the carrot I (you) can’t reach,
It’s the perfect, golden beach
Beyond mortal lands.

V2- It’s the friends you had,
Or the swing at the playground;
A time you knew,
Or a treasure you found.
It’s the games you played,
And ev’ry childhood mem’ry;
It’s who you were,
And who you could be.		(Chorus)

Bridge-Surely it is vain to try
To fill eternity
With the things that will fade. 
Beauty is sure to come,
And there will be a home
Built in God’s own way…      (Chorus)
