(Dan Messe)
|
|
Traded my last favor
|
For a map of St. Charlene
|
All these ghosts and angels
|
Friends and strangers
|
Ask me where I've been
|
|
The engine seemed to tremble
|
When I drove through our old town
|
And I found the house
|
Where we used to live
|
When I tried my key
|
I don't know what I thought I'd find
|
I tried to remember
|
What I thought I thought I left behind
|
|
The rooms were all deserted
|
Though the landlord kept them well
|
They were swept and shuttered
|
Paint that covered our familiar smells
|
I looked around our kitchen
|
And I climbed the narrow stairs
|
And I called your name
|
Just so I could hear it
|
And I swear these rooms
|
Were where we once used to make love
|
Now they're just a space
|
|
And there's no trace left of us
|
|
I spent another five days
|
On the banks of St. Charlene
|
After my car was fixed
|
I made some extra cash for gasoline.
|
I left without remembering
|
The reason I had come
|
But I knew then that I needed to leave
|
If I'm sad at least I know
|
That nothing's what it was
|
And I'm out of place
|
|
Cuz there's no trace left of us
|
There was no trace left of us
|
