George Huitker - The Songs That We Played Lyrics

It's so easy to get lost in all
The thoughts of things we miss
As I go online for the hundredth time
My heart's a closing fist
But when I look to see the ways
That people seem to spend their days
There seems to be a growing tide
Of people needing time outside to be
And the songs that we played
Sing of all that needs to stay
Places where the past will shine
Crystal fragments set in time
That stirred the soul and rocked your heart
That place in time which memory replays
You're never parting ways
It's so easy to get lost in sites
That find you making lists
Of all the joys that music brings
Those perfect states of bliss
That little child down by the creek
Settled in with fishing rod
Flowing stream, some gentle dreams
And music glowing out of tiny pods
And the songs that she played
Sing of threads that can't be frayed
Places where the past can shine
Crystal moments cast through time
Lying there, your mother's rug
Songs of light, no Covid bugs today
You're never parting ways
We're in this together, right!
It's so easy to get lost in all
The thoughts of things we miss
As I go online for the millionth time
I feel a rising mist
All the time we spent with sonic toys
Gigs and tours with all the boys
Setlists written to ignore
And crowds left always wanting more to hear
And the songs that we played
Sing of all that must return
Places where the past sublime
Rockets here to help us learn
Today
To flick the switch, to hit the start
To fill the hole and rock the heart
Never take for granted now
The magic way songs show us how to live
And what we need to give
And what we need to give
And what we need to give
