[Verse 1]
Crystal falls, where I used to live
The California town, on the Sanora ridge
They called me, and how they gave me some mics
It was just the team and, that place was out of sight
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, the embers of time
And if I'll go, another time
Down in Crystal falls
[Verse 2]
Midwestern boy, I didn't know much at all
Sophisticated girls, hanging out at the mall
My mother's a frame, we used to smoke a pipe
And hold cigarettes, on chilly autumn nights
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, the embers of time
And if I'll go, another time
Down in Crystal falls
Down in Crystal falls
[Verse 3]
We were packing up just as i was asettling in
My mother got a job, in Palmdale Wyoming
In Crystal Falls, I made a few good friends
But it was just another stop, I never saw them again
[Bridge]
We had to move, it was such a good time
That innocence escaped me behind
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, the embers of time
And if I'll go, another time
Down in Crystal falls
Down in Crystal falls
[Outro]
The embers of time keep on burning
Pushed before we're to the light
Slowly I keep on learning
If only I could get it right
Get it right
Get it right
