Dead and Past

Sunday mornings, a cherished memory, Down on Woods Creek Road, you and me. Your hair, styled like a star, so radiant, To church, our hearts pure, obedient. But now, Sunday mornings, I lie in bed, It's like my faith left when you fled. I shout at a God I question, I plea, Lost in this void, I can't break free. (Chorus) I'm clinging to memories, dead and past, Refusing to say farewell, this one's meant to last. Yet you're among stars, unreachable it seems, Betwixt heaven's gleam and ashes of dreams. Digging through letters, birthdays of old, A crumpled 20, a reminder bold. But what use is money, when love's all gone, Even if it's the last, I can't move on. (Chorus) I'm clinging to memories, dead and past, Refusing to say farewell, this one's meant to last. Yet you're among stars, unreachable it seems, Betwixt heaven's gleam and ashes of dreams. Betwixt heaven's gleam and ashes of dreams. (Bridge) I'm still holding on, to what's slipped away, In the quiet of night, and light of day. I'm still holding on, I'm still holding on, But I know deep inside, it's time to let go, For healing to start, and new chapters to grow. (Chorus) I'm clinging to memories, dead and past, Refusing to say farewell, this one's meant to last. Yet you're among stars, unreachable it seems, Betwixt heaven's gleam and ashes of dreams. past, Refusing to say farewell, this one's meant to last. Yet you're among stars, unreachable it seems, Betwixt heaven's gleam and ashes of dreams. (Outro) I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone But I'll find strength, to rise with the dawn. Oh, it hurts so hard For a million different reasons For in letting you go, I'll find my peace.
