Sanguine Jones - Milestones and Millstones Lyrics

Milestones and millstones...rejoice and regret
The best to remember...the worst to forget
Milestones and millstones...can't roll them away
Gathering moss everyday
As we leave childhood and enter the fray
Living and loving and finding our way
So much out there to do and to see and to say
Plenty of time left to spend
What we encounter cannot be foretold
Who we discover to have and to hold
No recompense for a dream that's mis sold
We get what we get in the end
Milestones and millstones...rejoice and regret
The best to remember...the worst to forget
Milestones and millstones...can't roll them away
Gathering moss everyday
High aspiration versus circumstance
Combine to lead us on a long merry dance
Growing older not wiser chasing the main chance
Marking the red letter days
Great expectations but just hard times hence
With stupidity always triumphing sense
The future imperfect due to the past tense
Yet never ceasing to amaze
Milestones and millstones...rejoice and regret
The best to remember...the worst to forget
Milestones and millstones...can't roll them away
Gathering moss everyday
