The Storyteller Lyrics by Paul Schram and John MacPhee Music by Paul Schram Performed by Paul Schram He walked through the evening and he listened to the night He listened to the sounds of those who traveled out of sight He went around and he told the stories of people he'd never known And when he told their stories they were things that he was shown And when they asked him how he could know the things that he had told He said I'm just a messenger for stories left untold Chorus With the wind their lives have scattered Took away all that mattered If only there was a way to look through time To find the reason to their rhyme About their lives little is known Only their names now carved in stone He said she came to this old land in 1817 She left behind her family in hopes that she would see A better life than what she had before she traveled far sames the man beside her who left a century before And they told him their stories so that he could pass along Any wisdom he could find to make their stories strong Chorus With the wind their lives have scattered Took away all that mattered If only there was a way to look through time To find the reason to their rhyme About their lives little is known Only their names now carved in stone Lead With the wind their lives have scattered Took away all that mattered If only there was a way to look through time To find the reason to their rhyme About their lives a little is known Only their names now carved in stone Copyright August 30, 2010 Paul Schram Productions
