lyrics

Make A Life From The Cinders of Your Past

I know you are sad
and you still miss him
you are like a kingdom without any subjects
well here’s what you do you know
you make a life from the cinders of your past
keep the marbles that you found in the yard
and hold on tight
those are reminders now for you you know
you make a turn when the turns are coming fast
you drive a Cutlass Sierra north on the I-15
call up every one that you know

I know you are sad
and you are lost
and you feel
all the good times are behind you
there are more good times ahead
than behind you
you have to believe me when I tell you
you make a life from the cinders of your past
write down everything that you love
and the reasons why
and that can be faith
that can be faith, at least for now
