Roots Run Deep Lyrics & Chords By Balloon Astronomy

There was a time when home was wild Full of possibilities And the sky was clear and blue We were longing to be free So we shared all our tears and chance And we left all we knew behind No more sorrow, no more pain Just the sweetest evening rain The dawn is coming closer The storm will soon be over The skies are clearing over you and me The sun was shining, the river widing When you and I were drifting down the bayou The fields were burning, the leaves were turning When sunset drew our eyes beyond the bayou We'll chase the joys of life together Hand in hand Untill the moths that grow in the forest shadows Cause us hope Then came a time when the breeze is blue Far away in the willow trees And the bright mississipi moon Cast their shadows on and on And we found that their roots run deep And our memories of home have changed No more sorrow, no more pain Just the sweetest evening rain Our broken hearts have healed now The ghosts are laid to rest now The passing years have somehow set us free The sun was shining, the river widing When you and I were drifting down the bayou The crows are playing, in a cycle swaying We're back where we belong down on the bayou We'll share the joys of life together Hand in hand Untill the moths that grow in the forest shadows Cause us hope The sun was shining, the river widing When you and I were drifting down the bayou The crows are playing, in a cycle swaying We're back where we belong down on the bayou We'll share the joys of life together Haind in hand Untill the moths that grow in the forest shadows Cause us hope
