Her Mother's Ring

Paroles de « Her Mother's Ring »

Verse 1

In a dusty old chest in the corner of my room,
There lay a ring that I never chose to groom,
The year was '85, it caught my fleeting eye,
But I never took it out, just left it lie.

Verse 2

Years went by, life spun its wheel,
Dreams took flight, and my heart took the heel,
In the drawer it stayed, through highs and lows,
A silent witness to what could never be our show.

Chorus

Oh, why did I keep this ring in the drawer,
A symbol of what might never be,
It sits there quietly, a piece of me,
Why did I keep this ring in the drawer?

Verse 3

A hundred times I thought to wear it on my hand,
To find a someone who could understand,
But life kept taking me down different paths,
And the ring remained in the drawer, just catching rust.

Bridge

Now the years have faded, the future's not in sight,
I wonder why I never let it take flight,
It's a silent witness to what could have been,
But in the end, it’s just a ring in a drawer again.

Chorus

Oh, why did I keep this ring in the drawer,
A symbol of what might never be,
It sits there quietly, a piece of me,
Why did I keep this ring in the drawer?

Outro

Back in '85, I found a piece of fate,
Now it just lays, a shadow of a date,
In the drawer it sits, as years tick by,
A testament to a love I kept on high.
