lyrics

Roanoke

Punished myself today at how we used to be
Walking Talking in the woods
Always meeting by our tree near the fence
Where I carved out our names and misunderstood

That you were amazed at what I’d always want
For the little I’d rarely give.
You were the first pioneer on my heart’s frontier
And if you say I never tried, could you say I quit?

Roanoke, Roanoke
Why’d you have to leave?
Roanoke, Roanoke
Why you such a mystery?

When I came back you had gone
But our tree still remains
The fence has rusted and now I burn
All I have is your carved out name

Roanoke, Roanoke
Why’d you have to leave?
Roanoke, Roanoke
Why you such a mystery?

Leaves have fallen from our tree
Snow crunches under my feet
Seasons changed but oh not I
All I know is you deserved a reply

Roanoke, Roanoke
Why’d you have to leave?
Roanoke, Roanoke
Why you such a mystery?

Roanoke, Roanoke
Why’d you have to leave?
Roanoke, Roanoke
It’s not such a mystery
It’s not such a mystery
It’s not such a mystery
