Dust Trails of Childhood

Broken swing hangs by the old oak tree

Sun bleached memories fading quietly

Boot prints in the sandbox where we would run

Echoes of laughter lost in the setting sun

Tumbleweeds roll where our dreams used to fly

Dust clouds settle on the past we left behind

Grew up restless on a dusty frontier

Forgot the days when life was clear

Lost track of old routines, innocence gone

Now chasing shadows where we once belonged

Cards dealt wild in the schoolyard shade

Skipping stones, promises we once made

Now my compass spins without direction

Trading childhood for a wandering reflection

Tumbleweeds roll where our dreams used to fly

Dust clouds settle on the past we left behind

Grew up restless on a dusty frontier

Forgot the days when life was clear

Lost track of old routines, innocence gone

Now chasing shadows where we once belonged

Campfire tales flicker in my weary mind

Old routes abandoned, footprints left behind

Yearning for patterns that time erased

But all that's left are roads I've never faced

Grew up restless on a dusty frontier

Forgot the days when life was clear

Lost track of old routines, innocence gone

Now chasing shadows where we once belongedDown the silent trail, nothing feels the same

Old routines lost, but I remember your name
