In memory of Scott Douglas MacVittie Feb 7, 1961- Jan 10, 2006

Doug was an adventurous spirit and hard worker who will be remembered for his keen sense of humor. When he wasn’t on his sailboat or riding his Harley, he could be found playing his harmonica or sitting having a beer with friends telling tall tales. He lived his life. “Only time moves on to the next scene –

lyrics

FORTY WINTERS 7/01 S MacVittie, K Mitchell

Forty winters have come and gone
And still he believes in her
He's walking down that red clay road
Toward a home he once knew

Bales of gold are asleep in the fields
The boys on the dock give one last haul
His hands they tell the story of the open sea
His hearts been lost like a boat on the rocks

CH: She's looking down on him now
I wonder what she'll find, what she'll find
She's looking down on him now with a smile with a smile
She's looking down on him now
That boy, yea that boy's been walking for miles( and miles)

If ever there was a maid of the shore
She could dance to the change of the tide
She wove her song into the heart of a young man
Who swore her to be his bride

Some can say that it served him right
To follow her into the change of the tide
He's walking down that red clay road
Toward a home he once knew
