Recorded by Walt Wilkins – Pedernales (2021)
Music and Lyrics by Walt Wilkins and Owen Temple
The Christmas whiskey is almost gone
We’ve talked all night- it’s almost dawn
Got a long road ahead
We all go as we are led
While l’m covering ground
You keep your records spinning round
We’ve got secrets and wild tales
We are a long, winding trail
It’s deep and it’s real
Who we are and what we feel
With all that we’ve been through
A piece of me stays with you
Oh – so it goes – these moments like gold
Oh – it bends and folds
We move along, but we hold on
To everything we’ve been
Through the rain and wind
Til we’re together again
Now there’s light across the hill
And like the frost on a window sill
I’ll be through the air and gone
Just like a song
Cheers to you and me
And to this mystery
Oh – so it goes – these moments like gold
Oh – it bends and folds
We move along, but we hold on
To everything we’ve been
Through the rain and wind
Til we’re together again
