Still (My Thoughts Go Back to You)
words and music by Jane Voss
Alone with my thoughts again tonight,
I watch the silent plains stretch out of sight;
The cities roll and fade across my view;
My thoughts go rollin’ back to you.
CHORUS: Movin’ on my way, I leave you far behind;
Ever-changing sights and scenes of my life occupy my mind;
And time works many wonders, it is true;
Still, my thoughts go back to you.
I’ve heard it said that love grows old;
Hearts once warm turn hard and cold.
But you betrayed your heart and mine;
Our love was old before its time.
CHORUS: Movin’ on my way, I leave you far behind;
Ever-changing sights and scenes of my life occupy my mind;
But sometimes when there’s nothin’ much to do,
Still, my thoughts go back to you.
Your love for me is dead and gone;
Mine for you keeps goin’ on.
Your love me was just some idle dream;
My love for you is a rolling stream.
CHORUS: Movin’ on my way, I leave you far behind;
Ever-changing sights and scenes of my life occupy my mind;
But though the mem’ry mostly makes me blue,
Still, my thoughts go back to you.
