Candle In The Wind


I've seen daddy working in the corn field
Till sweat soaked the shirt on his back
Making a living the best way he could
With hands that were callused and cracked
Time has made so many changes
These twenty years I've been gone
I told mom and dad that some day I'd be back
But, I guess that I've waited too long

Chorus:
Where is the boy with the sling shot
Who guarded the homestead back then
Where is the life that I used to call mine
It's gone like a candle in the wind

There's two lonely graves on a hilltop
An old farm that's wasting away
Fields that an old man once tendered with love
Grow nothing but tall weeds today
The old barn is sagging and fallen
Roses grow wild on the land
The old farm don't look like it did when it was
Part of a woman and her man

Chorus:

Now mom and dad's just a memory
And here I am standing all alone
Sadly remembering a line someone wrote
It said you could never go home

Chorus:
