Lyrics
The wood dove sings and the grasses grow tall
Where the pioneers sleep and wild things crawl
The southern cross shines like heaven knew earth needs a crown
Where the creek only runs when it rains on the hills
Rose petals fall at the sight of first chill
And the colors they cover the face of this ancient ground
Dawn breaks so does my heart
As I walk past the places and parts of a story
The life that I leave behind
Like the oak trees, the rusty tin roof
People you love and the people you lose
Well time moves on and so must I
The dust on my boots is the last that I'll know
The place that my grandfathers Wagon wheels rolled
In the last living soul five generations ago
Dawn breaks so does my heart
As I walk past the places and parts of a story
The life that I leave behind
Like the oak trees, the rusty tin roof
The people you're born with and people you choose
Well time moves on and so must I
Dawn breaks so does my heart for this place and people
All the parts of my story that I leave behind"
