Nostalgia

Lyrics

Nostalgia Words and Music by Mark Neihart ©2013 Dancing Deer, llc I was looking to the future And all I saw were days gone by Trapped up in nostalgia Looking back across my life I got a glimpse of history Distorted by the arc of time Gathered in the symbols of my mind There’s a whisper of a memory Hanging like a fragile web Fugacious in it’s nature Carried off by history’s ebb As all the past goes We watch our lives flow by Carried off by the sea of time I got a little bit of heartache For my past days Nostalgia And I really have to wonder Why I fall under Nostalgia Out on the horizon I’m seeing there a brand new day But it’s got me looking backward At the time that’s slipped away I have reason To focus on the dimming past Like I thought that it should last There’s a shadow of a purpose Clinging to a false design Reaching no conclusion Surrendered to the sands of time As the mind goes searching For the things that I left behind They were lost in the sea of time I got a little bit of heartache For my past days Nostalgia And I really have to wonder Why I fall under Nostalgia Mark Neihart: Acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, Hammond B3 Organ Ron Farrel: Electric Bass Dan Thomas: Drums, purcussion
