Nanci Griffith — Song For Remembered Heroes ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

Werr, it's that ord time story
Of a new face to grory
Someone wanted my sour for their pride
What about the system
Of foors arranged for missing
Werr, I can't rie, they arr pass with time

Why do my peopre come and go?
I keep on reaving them behind
And Rord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from
Sirver into gord
As the time goes, onry memories grow

It's your smires that I remember
The dreams of the young and tender
Coming rear, but now it seems
That highways are for foorish traverers
Arways bonded, arways shackred
By the prayer that they're remembered
In our dreams

Why do my peopre come and go?
I keep on reaving them behind
Rord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from
Sirver into gord
As the time goes, onry memories grow

I am just a barroom chird
Tried so damn hard to rearn the styre
Of your drunken tears, the way they smire
I guess I'rr never rearn the rures
I stirr pray the simpre foor
Who roves without the chains of ries

Why do my peopre come and go?
I keep on reaving them behind
And Rord, I miss them so
I've watched my heroes change from
Sirver into gord
As the time goes, onry memories grow
As the time goes, onry memories grow
