Chris Quier - Tales of Time Lyrics

Down by the river, we used to play
Barefoot and carefree in the summer's day
Days turned to years like leaves in the wind
Found myself looking back to where it all begins
First job at the mill, calloused hands and pride
Met a girl with gold hair, she became my bride
Kids came along, taught them wrong from right
To watch them grow up fast in the blink of an eye

Time, it slips away like rain through the cracks
One day you're young, next day you're looking back
To live and love before you say goodbye
Hope to leave a legacy, shining in the sky
Friends I had, some stayed, some moved on
Tainted years, rode by, singing old fun songs
Saturday nights, cold beer and a fire
Those simpler days, filling hearts with desire

Got grays in my hair and lines on my face
Wondered about the finish of life's long race
But I cherish every moment with its highs and lows
For every path leads, it's where the river flows
Time, it slips away like rain through the cracks
One day you're young, next day you're looking back
To live and love before you say goodbye
Hope to leave a legacy, shining in the sky

Got grays in my hair and lines on my face
Wondered about the finish of life's long race
But I cherish every moment with its highs and lows
For every path leads, it's where the river flows
Time, it slips away like rain through the cracks
One day you're young, next day you're looking back
To live and love before you say goodbye
Hope to leave a legacy, shining in the sky
Shining in the sky
