Hearts That Stay

I saw the door close

But all that you saw was a door that glows

The one we carried in our arms

Ever drifting away

And all that you saw

When you were so young

Saw pushed into flames

And now you sit here in all our hearts

And no one is to blame

Just another gone

Your travels will remain

But I still see that picture everyday

That shadow never goes away

I still see your smile

Never relieves the pain

A million miles crossed

To see a laughing face

And here I sit at the river bend

How many miles do we walk

And how many do we cross

I guess you always saw it in a different light

So I listen to the dogs howl

And the creek ramble

All those stars dancing across the sky

Just to hear you say

I feel you slipping away

And that heart that filled with gold

A million boats it would take

Just for me to find what it takes
