Wanigan Who Lived Here lyrics

Who lived here so many years ago?
What were the circumstances
That made them pack and go?
The road that used to bring friends and family
Has lost its way in that field over there
But the spring is still filling that old trough
As if without a care

The roof caved in last winter
Where it once stood so strong
An old claw foot bathtub sits on the porch
Its modesty long gone
And the tractor shed is leaning
And the chicken coop is grieving
Both beyond repair
And the spring is still filling that old trough
As if without a care

Flow, spring water flow
You give life to those that you now know
But as all things surely pass away
Your living water flows


You can still pick an apple in the fall
From the orchard on that hill
Voices from the past will haunt you
If you're quiet and still
By the time my hair is thin and gray
This old ground will be bare
But the spring will still be filling that old trough
As if without a care

So flow, spring water flow
You give life to those that you now know
But as all things must surely pass away
Your living water flow
Flow, spring water, flow
You give life to those that you now know
As all things must surely pass away
Your living water flows
As all things must surely pass away
Your living water flows
