lyrics

See those gas pumps over there?
That’s where your uncle killed a bear
There were woods here, before the four lane came through
Tore out the springhouse and the shed
For those dry cleaners just ahead
And the folks just passing by, they never knew.

The eyes of yesteryear see what’s no longer here
Shapes and shadows of what used to be
Grandma’s house that burned down
The barn the storm blew into town
They show up only for those with memories.

The bowling alley, a yarn shop
Have now become a parking lot
for tractor trailers waiting for their pickup time
And the travelers only see
Trash and gravel, and too-tall weeds
They don’t know what came before in days gone by.

The eyes of yesteryear see what’s no longer here
Shapes and shadows of what used to be
Grandma’s house that burned down
The barn the storm blew into town
They show up only for those with memories
