Well I know dear brother that the sand it falls away
Into the hour glass with every passing day
We chose our own roads but no matter what the cost

Am        Am/B  C               F               C

Verse 3: (palm mute)
I have that photo where I’m cradled in your arms
I’m still that boy now offering shelter from the storm
Well I release you from your standing of the guard
I push your boat away and know you will go far
