[Verse

Morning sun

Creeping

Shadows on the barn

Whispers of yesterday

Hanging on my arm

Gravel road

Winding

Secrets in the dirt

Silent trees

Guarding

Tales of love and hurt

[Verse 2

Old Joe's rocking

On that ancient chair

Stories of the river

Carried through the air

Rusty gate

Clanging

Like a distant bell

Echoes of the sorrow

Folks round here can tell

[Chorus

Ain't no way

The wind's gonna change

He's been blowin' cold

Through the silent plain

Ain't no way

The river's gonna bend

Rollin' to the sea

Like it’s always been

[Verse 3

Golden fields

Waving

Under sapphire skies

Children’s laughter

In the amber rye

Simple days

Fading

Like a worn out map

Memories of a time

Before they took that gap

[Verse 4

Midnight train

Callin'

Whistles in the night

Promises long broken

Fading with the light

Lonely heart

Beating

To a hollow tune

Desires unspoken

Underneath the moon

[Chorus

Ain't no way

The wind's gonna change

He's been blowin' cold

Through the silent plain

Ain't no way

The river's gonna bend

Rollin' to the sea

Like it’s always been
