Memories

Hhhhmmmmm

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

Ooohhhh

I have learned to be still

I have learned to be still

Like a fence post on a hill

Don’t need to run nowhere

There’s a center everywhere

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

In the dust, in the grain

In the shadow, in the rain

I can widen what I see

Let it all come into me

Let it all come into me

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

Set out walking once again

Same old dirt beneath my boots

Leaves that fall and leaves that cling

Every little hidden thing

Every little hidden thing

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

Something flinches when I look

Like I opened up a book

Is it them or is it me

Waking what I came to see

Waking what I came to see

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

I ain’t chasin’ what won’t stay

Let it come and drift away

Every small thing holds the truth

If you let it pull you through

Memory tries to hold its place

But it slips through time and space

Not like trees with rings that stay

Marked in years that don’t just fade

years that don’t just fade

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

While we’re livin’, it won’t last

We can’t hold onto the past

Then we’re held a little while

By a name… a trace… a mile

Then it’s gone

Ohhhhhh Then it’s gone

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

brings me back again

Said I wouldn’t walk this road

But that’s what kept me goin’

Friend of mine said “see it through”

I believed it when he told me to

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

brings me back again

Take a thing down to its end

That’s the work I’m given

Not to keep, but understand

What it means to be livin’

means to be livin’

I ain’t chasin’ what won’t stay

Let it come and drift away

Every small thing holds the truth

If you let it pull you through

Ohhhhhhhhh

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

From a speck out on the ground

I can turn the whole thing ‘round

Every road I thought would end

Bends and brings me back again

I have learned to be still

I have learned I will

Take it to the end again
