Nora Jane Struthers - 1943 lyrics

There's an old man walking Up a mountain trail And you know he don't see that well But his path is written Into his memory And he can sing it like a melody He sings it like a melody As it twists and turns he knows every bend He goes right and left then right again Though the lines are blurred he sees every tree Just as clear as 1943 He sings it like a melody An old family photo Hangs in a simple frame He will tell you every name At his kitchen table Flips through his memory And he sings them like a melody He sings them like a melody As they twist and turn he knows every bend He goes right and left then right again Though the lines are blurred he sees every scene Just as clear as 1943 He sings them like a melody Two twin beds Nestled side by side One's been made since '95 He says she's still living In his memory And she sings him like a melody She sings him like a melody As his life twists and turns, she knows every bend Singing right and left then right again Though the lines have blurred she hears every plea Just as clear as 1943 And she answers with a melody
