The Handing Down

In the handing down, the handing down
 Maybe the truth will not be shown
 And the dark will just roll on and on
 Roll
 ♪
 Of 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 favorite 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
