Sincerely, I Remain

People they come and people go

Headed to who knows where

All up and down that long highway

Until they disappear

The grass is greener on the other side

Or so they all believe

But I'm looking out a different window

I'm planted like a tree

I love this old town, I love the old sounds

Church bells ringing and a midnight train

And I'll stay as unchanged

As tin roofs and rain

Sincerely I remain

And when I leave I always come back

To the arms that hold me tight

With the ones that I love gathered around me

My shelter from the storms of life
