1943 Lyrics - Singles - Nora Jane Struthers

There's an old man walking 

Up a mountain trail 

And you know he don't see that well 

But his path is written 

Into his memory 

And he can sing it like a melody 

He sings it like a melody 

As it twists and turns he knows every bend 

He goes right and left then right again 

Though the lines are blurred he sees every tree 

Just as clear as 1943 

He sings it like a melody

An old family photo 

Hangs in a simple frame 

He will tell you every name 

At his kitchen table 

Flips through his memory 

And he sings them like a melody 

He sings them like a melody 

As they twist and turn he knows every bend 

He goes right and left then right again 

Though the lines are blurred he sees every scene 

Just as clear as 1943 

He sings them like a melody

Two twin beds 

Nestled side by side 

One's been made since '95 

He says she's still living 

In his memory 

And she sings him like a melody 

She sings him like a melody 

As his life twists and turns, she knows every bend 

Singing right and left then right again 

Though the lines have blurred she hears every plea 

Just as clear as 1943 

And she answers with a melody
