Lyrics
Down the winding path where the rivers bend Soft light fades into the evening's end
I carried dreams on my weary back Through fields of green and the summer's track Hands calloused from the earth's own hand Chasing shadows across the land
Oh, the heart remembers what the miles forget Love like a lantern in the dark we met Now I'm wandering, searching for that flame Calling your name through the pouring rain
Nights by the fire, stories in the glow Faces of kin in the embers low Work of the day in the sweat and soil Finding my soul in the honest toil
But in the quiet, when the stars align I feel the pull of what I left behind A thread of hope woven through the years Washing away these wandering tears
Oh, the heart remembers what the miles forget Love like a lantern in the dark we met Now I'm wandering, searching for that flame Calling your name through the pouring rain
Down the winding path, I'll find my way Back to the light of yesterday
What the Miles Forget
