Heirloom Lyrics

I have seen a place somewhere in my furthest memory

It's got mountains, it's got islands
Set in lakes like jewels in silver

It's got visions rising up off it's shores

Like nothing, nothing that I've seen before

And there are caves that echo every worthy sound that enters

Buzzing through my mind

If I had a sign I would know which way I'm pointing

I guess this way , I guess that way
And I plough the dirt with my finger

If you get wound up, tied down, laughed at and scorned

Like nothing, nothing that you've known before

And you can still remember every knife that twisted further

You know you're still alive
Everybody's got a burden that they could do with sharing
We've got problems, solutions

Cracked into ridges and valleys

We need focus, money, love and good times

If you haven't got any you can use some of mine

Because I've got enough for both of us

And I could do with sharing

So spirit me away from everywhere

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
