Legacy

Ricky Nelson


Go down to the sea 
put your ears to the ground 
and open your heart to the waves 
and the sounds that they make 
as they break along the shore 
never more to pass this way again 

open your eyes to the cries of the crane 
and look to the skies 
for a life that you won't see again 
as the silence cuts the glen 
never more to pass this way again 

never coming through here, oh no 
my time is through here - that, I know 
and all that I leave I bequeth to my son 
and beg his forgiveness, for all that I've done in his name 
as the cycle comes to end 
never more to pass this way again 

never coming through here my friend 
I know my road has reached the end 
never more to pass this way again
