Here’s the ring, here’s the ring that fell
Out at the football game
reaching for your hand (while the band played Sousa)
down it fell, down the well of time
down behind the stands
here it is again

Chorus: Lost and found
Nothing’s ever gone forever
Anything you had is here
Everything drifting is now bound
Memories echoing the sound

Father walked, father walked for miles
wind blowing all the while
late that Christmas eve (whistling Greensleeves)
to bring this coat, bring this coat cashmere
I moved and it disappeared
that was my storm tossed year

Chorus

This tattered page, this tattered page was mine
mine from my family
trembling hands once wrote (humming a bit off key)
to soon goodbye, too soon no one to ask
and handwriting fades away
but here it is so clear, here and found

Chorus
