Flume Of Treasures

Lyrics
[Verse]

Creek runs wild like veins in my hand

Dust kicks up on this quiet land

Sun dips low behind the barn's beam

World here feels like an old worn dream

[Verse]

Fence posts leaning under the sky so wide

Horizon swallowed up all my pride

Dog barking echoes down the dirt trail

Ghosts of the past sing an old short tale

[Chorus]

Memory rides on the wind like a song

Carried through time where it all went wrong

Warmth of the fire and a heart that cracked

Nothing ahead but what's left behind my back

[Bridge]

Shadows stretch long across the cracked floor

Each board whispers of what came before

Echoes of laughter lost in the haze

Time stole the beauty in these worn-out days

[Verse]

Round the corner the orchard's still there

Branches like hands reaching through the air

Apples fall and bruise on the cold grass

Like everything sweet that can’t seem to last

[Chorus]

Memory rides on the wind like a song

Carried through time where it all went wrong

Warmth of the fire and a heart that cracked

Nothing ahead but what's left behind my back

Memory of the Wind

Waiting for Columbus
