Screen Door Porch Blow Away Words & Music: Seadar Rose, Harper Rose Music (ASCAP) Intro They said I was strong, but a man turns weak They said I knew hope and hope cared for me But when the sun sets on your last days All that remains are the ashes that blow away Oh how they blow away Dug my grave with a silver spade Watched my light just fade into grey Oh how they blow away Oh how they just blow away The train don't come through no more The tracks lay tired like our old front porch We sit outside waiting for the whistle to moan Oh how it just blows away Oh how it blows away The house that I built is gone What little I knew of a happy home Covered in scars, deep to the bones And oh how they just blow away Oh how they blow away My boots sit covered in dust Sold what they could and they packed up the rest Kept a pair to remember me best And oh how I just blew away Oh how I just blew away The record player sings a worn song Of lonesome valleys and garden walls My last memories, best that I recall And oh how they blow away Oh how they blow away She lays a hand on my grave Says all the things I wish I could have said Throws flowers and dirt through a tear shed Oh how they just blow away Oh how they just blow away
