My head grows heavier

My head grows heavier

With the passing of days

So many memories

To carry to my grave

Not enough wisdom

To lighten the load

Or find me a shortcut

Along this hard road

But if I forget

What will I become

The pictures I carry

Are faded and worn

My jacket and knapsack

Are threadbare and torn

But I need them to hold

All that reminds me

Of you

Bring me through safely

Find me the way

Let me keep walking

Into a new day

I am all that we started

Afraid to forget

Holding the future

So close to my chest

Leave a light in the window

A fire in the grate

Wait in the shadows

No matter how late

I may forget

Moments phrases or dates

But I will keep searching

Cross land, sea and shore

I may never find rainbows

But I will find your door.
