[00:01.76]
[00:13.58]The first time I met Davey it was 1985
[00:18.88]
[00:19.83]We were three sheets to the wind
[00:22.27]
[00:23.25]And a couple of tokes over the line
[00:26.31]But I've replayed that moment
[00:28.88]
[00:29.43]Like a movie in my mind
[00:31.87]
[00:32.91]The first time I met Davey it was 1985
[00:38.37]
[00:45.34]The next time I saw Davey it
[00:48.17]Was at a high school dance
[00:50.87]
[00:51.67]He was with my best friend Mary
[00:54.20]
[00:54.73]I was singin' with the band
[00:57.36]
[00:58.20]My life passed before me in
[01:01.52]That passing glance
[01:04.09]And I knew I'd never be the same again
[01:08.45]
[01:10.20]And I sing
[01:10.76]Davey runs through the roses
[01:13.23]
[01:14.20]And Davey runs through my mind
[01:16.41]
[01:17.43]Thinkin' that the road I chose
[01:19.39]Was the best one at the time
[01:22.47]
[01:23.47]Those mem'ries they're just moments
[01:26.14]
[01:26.86]You wish would never end
[01:29.18]
[01:30.07]But they never stay
[01:31.60]They just float away
[01:32.95]
[01:33.48]Like ashes in the wind
[01:35.87]
[01:43.45]Davey married Mary and went
[01:47.03]On with his life
[01:48.45]
[01:49.58]So I went and found a husband
[01:52.32]
[01:53.21]And tried to be a wife
[01:55.24]
[01:56.37]But I knew from 'I Do'
[01:59.24]Deep down it wasn't right
[02:01.73]
[02:02.44]And that's why I'm lookin' back alone tonight
[02:06.98]
[02:08.53]And I sing
[02:09.30]Davey runs through the roses
[02:11.47]
[02:12.56]And Davey runs through my head
[02:14.83]
[02:15.89]Wishin' that the road I chose
[02:17.97]Was another one instead
[02:20.94]
[02:21.89]Those mem'ries they're just moments
[02:24.46]
[02:25.11]You pray will never end
[02:27.69]
[02:28.38]But they never stay
[02:29.81]They just float away
[02:31.76]Like ashes in the wind
[02:34.15]
[02:36.55]The minutes turn to days
[02:38.91]
[02:39.63]And the days they turn to years
[02:42.32]
[02:43.18]And a lifetime you can waste
[02:45.73]
[02:46.41]When you're runnin' from your fears
[02:50.13]
[03:04.19]The last time I saw Davey it was 1999
[03:09.55]
[03:10.75]We had gathered all together
[03:13.22]
[03:14.09]We had come to say goodbye
[03:16.86]
[03:17.64]To the heart of an old soul
[03:20.03]
[03:20.62]Who was far too young to die
[03:23.57]
[03:24.48]And in the still you could hear the angels cry
[03:28.73]
[03:30.37]And I sing
[03:31.17]Davey runs through the roses
[03:33.54]
[03:34.37]And Davey danced through my life
[03:36.82]
[03:37.43]I can see him up there with Moses
[03:39.90]
[03:40.63]Right next to Jesus Christ
[03:43.07]
[03:43.99]While I'm standin' at the crossroads
[03:47.17]Wonderin' what's around the bend
[03:50.01]
[03:50.90]He's miles from here
[03:52.54]Beyond the atmosphere
[03:54.73]Just ashes in the wind
[03:57.38]
[03:59.57]I can see him rise into the sky
[04:02.44]
[04:03.27]Just ashes in the wind
