As I sit and wonder How the years have come and gone The wind blows across my face Replacing every line that time has drawn The cars go rushing by And the airplanes fill the air Between the distance of somewhere And knowing that I care When I fall asleep I often wonder about the days When the people after us Will feel the earth shake in different ways Where they'll hang their hats At the end of each day And if they'll remember the calm and simple ways One day at a time Is all I can hold in my mind Waiting for the sun to set Behind the horizon line Has it ever crossed your mind Have you ever held your breath The breeze way don't seem so breezy anymore The pillar of my heart Is quickly fading out I don't want to take anything With me when I go I'll light one last cigarette, then i'll be gone Before the ashes hit the ground The brick home is still standing After 95 rocky years Love and pain soaked up tears In the concrete of fear The storm door ain't holding back the storms anymore The house seems more like a monument than a home
