The Handing Down

	The handing down, the handing down
	Maybe the truth will not be shown
	And the dark will just roll on and on. Roll
	O three rivers where’s that star you once
	Held above my faded dreams
	Heart worn more than some I guess
	But I’m still holding at the seams
	Still holding at the seams.
	Scarecrow holds an hourglass
	Above the cross roads for me
	Filled with tears and twilight
	From a friend’s dying day
	Here’s a turkey feather for his favourite hat
	And a love letter from the ace of spades
	A love letter from the ace of spades
	An anchor in the crown
	Of Queen Anne’s lace and chicory
	A charm, a charm to drive away
	All the heartaches I gave
	All the goodbyes and the 'I love you's
	I said but not in time
	But mine is the heart of lonesome pine
	And the choices weren’t always mine
	The choices weren’t always mine
