Lyrics

I've returned to north Ohio Leaves are falling And the sky is grey I crossed that bridge on the Maumee River Come to see my grandmother's grave High on a hill The rain is gently falling In the grass By the stone that bears her her name Life comes and goes And flickers like a candle Still the spirit of love Forever stays the same Tonight in my dreams I go back to linger In a life not long ago That I once knew To a girl I loved And rooms I remember Just like a ghost who is lost I'm wandering through My heart is aching With a thousand joys and sorrows In my sleep In my dreams I call her name Life comes and goes And flickers like a candle Still the spirit of love Forever stays the same Tonight I felt the summer ending In the darkness, ever softly She slipped on by Down in the field At the four roads crossing I watched the flashing Last blue stars of the fireflies I stood there on the ground Where my ancestors lay sleeping In this land They lived and loved Now they dream in the rain Life comes and goes And flickers like a candle Still the spirit of love Forever stays the same Oh Lord, yes it does Forever stays the same
