In the yard where I was young there grew a tree
Twisting branches, calloused roots were nature's tapestry
My parents' parents say it's looked this way
Long before they knew me

This riverbed once had a name
For thirteen hundred years it rode these stones the same
Now nothing's left of where my family played
Save a tired old rope swing

And I know that too will fade some day

Time is just a familiar way
To make sense of unending change
But this moment, as brief as it is, will still be remembered
Long after the present fades away

I grew up on my first guitar
Thinking maybe when I'm older it would take me far
But now I stand at the gates of adulthood
With empty hands

Now I'll have it figured out some day

Time is just a familiar way
To make sense of unending change
But this moment, as brief as it is, will still be remembered
Long after the present fades away

As people come and go, and the seasons change
I know that I've been changing too
The old will pass their stories down
And the young will bring a different tune

Now at the meadow spring, that feeds the river
Surrounded by evergreens
Have I found the place I've been looking for
Or was it this place that's looked for me

When my hair goes white
And my eyes are fading
Won't you lay me in the shade
On the weathered roots of the tree of ages
My parents call to me

Is it my turn to believe

Time is only a simple way
To make sense of unending change
As our lives march onward, through movie scenes
We have only what's in the frame
