The Handing Down - Magnolia Electric Co.

The handing down, the handing down

Maybe the truth will not be shown

And the dark will just roll on and on, roll

O three rivers where’s that star you once

Held above my faded dreams

Heart worn more than some I guess

But I’m still holding at the seams

Still holding at the seams

Scarecrow holds an hourglass

Above the cross roads for me

Filled with tears and twilight

From a friend’s dying day

Here’s a turkey feather for his favourite hat

And a love letter from the ace of spades

A love letter from the ace of spades

An anchor in the crown

Of Queen Anne’s lace and chicory

A charm, a charm to drive away

All the heartaches I gave

All the goodbyes and the 'I love you’s'

I said but not in time

But mine is the heart of lonesome pine

And the choices weren’t always mine

The choices weren’t always mine
