A gift song for the town of Cairo - Visit www.yourgiftsong.com

lyrics

Cairo (live)

When I close my eyes

My mind opens up wide

To the bright-eyed days of my youth

And those summers that ended way too soon

I swing on a rope

By an oak with leaves so green

With branches that reach back and touch my memories

Held up by the roots of my family

Who made their home

In Cairo

Sifting through marbles and the broken glass

Dipping my toes into the Hughes

My heart lives in my home

And my home it lives in Cairo

I’m sorry for any

City boy who hasn’t had any

Memories like these and I’ve got plenty

Sifting through marbles and the broken glass

Dipping my toes into the Hughes

My heart lives in my home

And my home it lives in Cairo

As years pass on

My final days will step up to me

Simply haul away all that was mortal of me

My spirit will flow

Where the Hughes river goes

Back to the town of Cairo



Sifting through marbles and the broken glass

Dipping my toes into the Hughes

My heart lives in my home

And my home it lives in Cairo
