the oaks will look down on our heads forever and our dreams will be no more
C
we should not ever let them go

Am G
i remember those summers stretched on without end
Am G F
the future comes on loudly and the oaks , the oaks were silent then
Am G
silence forever , conversations in my head
Am G
might not have changed your mind but if we’d spoken
F
here’s what i’d have said
C
here’s what i would’ve said . . . .
