Souvenirs Lyrics
Here is a poem
That my lady sent down
Some morning while I was away.
Wrote on the back of
A leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.
And here is the key
To a house far away
Where I used to live as a child.
They tore down the building
When I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.
And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries… cries.
And here is a sunrise
To set on your sill
The ghosts of the dawn moving new.
They pass through your sorrow
And leave you quite still…
Sitting among souvenirs.
That my lady sent down
Some morning while I was away.
Wrote on the back of
A leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.
To a house far away
Where I used to live as a child.
They tore down the building
When I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries… cries.
To set on your sill
The ghosts of the dawn moving new.
They pass through your sorrow
And leave you quite still…
Sitting among souvenirs.

I love this song, if you've ever gone through memorabilia or old photos early in the morning and the emotions that can be stirred from this... and how time fly's. good song, vivid.
