Lyrics

When I was a child, I'd walk alone for miles
In the sand by the river, summer weeds grown wild
Face turned to the breeze, with the dragonflies and trees
I'd dream by the river, the sand beneath my feet

I was married young, and moved to Galveston
Where my dreams they faded like the stars behind the sun
Ann Marie was kind, but her love wasn't mine
The seasons changed and I left her heart behind
The seasons changed and I left her love behind

There's a lifetime between the breeze, the Autumn leaves,
The breath I breathe and heaven calling me home.
I see it floating just out of reach,
Taunting me with faded dreams and memories
And all the time I've lost.
Then the seasons change and I pack up all my clothes
The seasons change and I head back to my home

With the years upon my face, I got back to this place
Where a river runs by the town where I was raised
The memories I keep, they haunt me in my sleep
So I dream by the river, sand beneath my feet
I dream by the river, sand beneath my feet

There's a lifetime between the breeze, the Autumn leaves,
The breath I breathe and heaven calling me home.
I see it floating just out of reach,
Taunting me with faded dreams and memories
And all the time I've lost.
Then the seasons changed and I packed up all my clothes
The seasons changed and I hit the open road
The seasons change by the river by my home
The seasons change till heaven calls me home
