Ancient Stories

(Verse 1) Gathered in an antique bowl All the letters from their joyful life Kneeling like prayer, she’ll stoke the fire She’ll burn the words, they are for her alone (Chorus) Like unwritten pages.. Hopes, cries, dreams, sighs Will flow out, debris after rain Our untold stories.. Smiles, scrapes, charms, the screams Will go out, smoldered by rain (Verse 2) Countless hours make a life Shear number of moments stun Commotion, struggled swim Ripples will calm to glass (Chorus) Like unwritten pages.. Friends, shams, loves, spills Will flow out, debris after rain Our heartfelt stories.. Kids, aches, meals, the scars Will go out, smoldered by rain (Musical interlude) (Chorus) Like unwritten pages.. Jokes, peeves, pets, lies Will flow out, debris after rain Our ancient stories.. Thrills, falls, truths, the hells Will go out, smothered in sand by time Listen to this as a song! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=41813&songID=12477597 _
