WIND CHIMES

WIND CHIMES

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP LOOKING BACK

TO YEARS PAST AND GONE AWAY

TO FONDEST MEMORIES THAT STILL MAKE ME SMILE 

WHEN I THINK OF THEM TODAY

A SUMMER BREEZE TAKES ME BACK TO LONG AGO

JUST A COUNTRY KID, AND ALL THE THINGS I DID

HEART OF AN EXPLORER, HEAD FULL OF DREAMS 

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I'D NEVER SEEN

WALKING THROUGH THE FIELDS TOWARDS THE WOODS

I WAS SHANE, I WAS COCHISE, OR SERGEANT ROCK 

SOMETIMES I WAS DAVEY CROCKETT OR DANIEL BOONE

ALL I KNOW IS IT ALL ENDED TOO SOON

LAUGHTER IN THE HAYLOFT, WATER IN THE WELL

LITTLE BROTHERS GONNA TELL 

BLOWING SMOKE RINGS IN AN OLD CAR

TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE, FLYING BLIND

CHEWING ON A PIECE OF GRASS

LYING ON MY BACK, LOOKING AT THE SKY

CHURCH BELLS RINGING ACROSS THE FIELD

BEGIN TO FADE AWAY

THEN ANSWERED BY THE WIND CHIMES SONG

ALL SUMMER LONG

ICY WINTERS AND DRIPPING SPRING

PROMISE OF ANOTHER SUMMER AGAIN 

MEMORIES THAT MAKE ME SMILE 

I THINK OF ONCE IN AWHILE

THEY WERE AWKWARD TIMES, BUT WE SURE HAD FUN

TOASTING MARSHMALLOWS IN THE FIRE 

SWEET INNOCENCE AND DESIRE

I FORGET THINGS AND LOSE MY MIND

HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

BUT I CAN'T FORGET THE THINGS THAT SHAPED MY LIFE

TURNED INTO SOMETHING NICE

LOOKING BACK I SEE A DIFFERENT WORLD THAT WAS KIND

COULD UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF A BOY OR A MAN

WHENEVER THAT SWEET SUMMER BREEZE BLOWS

CARRYING PRICELESS MEMORIES

STOPS ME IN MY TRACKS

SENDS ME DRIFTING BACK

FREE ENOUGH TO BE

 STANDING ALONE, FEELING FREE
