Treasure I Once Held - Blanco White

There’s a treasure I once held

Band of silver coiled in my palm

That vanished under the water

Shimmering as it fell

Gone forever, not in my heart

'Cause I know there was more that you wanted us to share

You rowed out in the stillness of morning to find me there

Slow days, I remember a summer without a care, without a care

Tell me what’s holding you down

Or did we lose one another

'Cause something broke the spell

Memorized it’s the same to me now

'Cause I know there was more that you wanted us to share

Old days I would talk with your mother, she always cared

There’s one road, you can take it or leave it just don’t regret

The moon’s silent, but the water’s changed

Knowing the time has gone

Just a photograph and a view from the shore

'Cause I know there was more that you wanted us to share

You rowed out in the stillness of morning to find me there

Slow days, I remember a summer without a care, without a care
