Memories are gathered at my shoulder
Waiting for me to heed their siren call
When I look round to see how far I've travelled
All I can see is how far I'd have to fall
Chorus: Not so long ago,
I crawled down from that mountain
Clawed my life back from that cruel peak
I'm left with only scars from that battle
And a story that's too damn sad to speak
You shared your hope for the future
I stuck around though it was often tough
From time to time when I heard you'd faltered
I hoped and prayed that love would be enough
Chorus
I hope you found your rest in the Smoky Mountains
No matter where your body lies
I know peace can't be when sorrow lingers
And it's a fact that true love never dies
Chorus
