Nanci Griffith - Song For Remembered Heroes слова песни
Well, it`s that old time storyof a new face to glorySomeone wanted my soul for their prideWhat about the systemof fools arranged for missingWell, I can`t lie, they all pass with timeWhy do my people come and go?I keep on leaving them behindand Lord, I miss them soI`ve watched my heroes change fromsilver into goldAs the time goes, only memories growIt`s your smiles that I rememberthe dreams of the young and tenderComing real, but now it seemsThat highways are for foolish travelersalways bonded, always shackledBy the prayer that they`re rememberedin our dreamsWhy do my people come and go?I keep on leaving them behindLord, I miss them soI`ve watched my heroes change fromsilver into goldAs the time goes, only memories growI am just a barroom childtried so damn hard to learn the styleOf your drunken tears, the way they smileI guess I`ll never learn the rulesI still play the simple foolWho loves without the chains of liesWhy do my people come and go?I keep on leaving them behindand Lord, I miss them soI`ve watched my heroes change fromsilver into goldAs the time goes, only memories growAs the time goes, only memories grow
