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
