Treasure I Once Held Songtext
von 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
