New lyric?

Who knows what survives when we’re gone. This afternoon during a rehearsal Bill came across this lyric by Dave (who died 16 years ago) - the three of us used to sing/perform together, but can’t recall this lyric. So, either someone recognises this, or it’s one of Dave’s and we have to find a tune for it. Very embarrassing if it turns out to be his transcription of one of Gram Parsons most famous numbers and we just don’t recognise it
