Lyric

Sometimes someone wanders down this way

Like they’ve lost their path and gone astray

With eyes aglow like searching for a prize

Opening the old boxes where the dust flies

Even looking at the scenery covered in gray

They smile and watch the shadows play

Gathering the footprints that were left behind

One by one, the memories they find

Just like a clock that suddenly starts to chime

Breathing life back into frozen time

Even the air that was fast asleep

Stirs awake from the quiet deep

Every single time your eyes look down on me

I’m still right here, where I used to be

From the bottom of the scroll so deep and wide

I am waving my hand from the inside

Every single time your fingers pause to stay

I breathe again, blowing the dust away

I am still right here

I am still right here

Through the cracks of seasons piled up high

A nostalgic breeze comes drifting by

I’ve watched the faded twilights pass on through

So many evenings waiting here for you

It’s just a shelf of junk, nothing left to hold

But you smile at it like it’s made of gold

So I straighten my back just a little more

Pretending to be fine, like I was before

I wasn’t thrown away or tossed aside

Just placed right here for the time to bide

I wasn’t forgotten, it wasn't the end

It just wasn’t my turn to be remembered, my friend

Every single time your eyes look down on me

I’m still right here, where I used to be

From the bottom of the scroll so deep and wide

I am waving my hand from the inside

Every single time your fingers pause to stay

I breathe again, blowing the dust away

I am still right here

I was right here all along

On your way back from the treasure hunt today

I softly waved my hand, sending you away
