Lyrics
As you walk through this life, it's nice to have some pockets on 'Cause you pick up a few things as you travel along, But I wouldn't want to carry too big a load, just a few memories to think back on. I believe in the spirit that lives for eternity, or at least for a while after the body is gone; but I don't really know 'cause it came to me in a dream; an ethereal memory to think back on. Higher powers standin' at the ends of the hall, pulling the rug out from under our feet. Sometimes they place a mantle of grace over us all, and other times they turn up the heat. Well time ain't the enemy, but time takes its toll and all of those memories come pouring out your soul; all of the gifts you've made and the deeds you have done, these are the memories we become. Out on the ocean, far from the bay, anchors are lifting and ships are sailing away; here in the harbor, it's homecoming day and it's hear that the souls touch down to stay. Now I'm walking down the road that winds through this world the temple of an ancient soul in the body of a little girl I'm pickin' up leaves of gold the autumn is nearly gone in this kind of memory, I live on; In this kind of memory, I live on.
