O the Days

[Verse] O the days They linger long In shadows danced by candle's song Perplexified A heart so worn In empty rooms where love was born [Verse 2] Echoes weave through time's old thread A tapestry of words unsaid Bluesy notes on guitar played In the dark where memories stayed [Chorus] O the days They stretch and bend Like rivers flowing to no end A tired soul in weary plight Searching for that beacon's light [Verse 3] A porch swing creaks a mournful tune Underneath the wistful moon Ghosts of what we might have seen Haunt the spaces in between [Verse 4] Rusty nails in ancient wood Hold secrets never understood A whisper on the wind so sly It speaks of moments left to die [Bridge] Bare feet on the autumn ground Roots and leaves They twist around In labyrinths where dreams reside Nestled deep where tears have dried
