Here is a poem that my lady sent down
Some morning while I was away.
Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.

And here is the key to a house far away
Where I used to live as a child.
They tore down the building when I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.

And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past the strongest man cries...cries.
[repeat]

And here is a sunrise to set on your sill.
The ghosts of the dawn moving near.
They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still...
Sitting among souvenirs.
