about
This is another track from the World at Night project with Shawn Brice, co-written with the amazing keyboardist and Bon Vivant Chad Lilly.
Been hanging around for years. Finally finished thanks to the covid lockdown.

lyrics
sometimes it's more than I can bear
to feel the brush of memory
faded scenes in aching silence
a waking moment like a dream
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made too lightly
and all the love for which I've paid
the rags and bones of loss
through the frosted glass of years I've seen
a picture book of sad reminders
the weight of all
there used to be
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
locked away in the fragile sunlit dreams I hold
photographs of distant shadows
a taste of all
that might not be
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made in silence
a yearning for
some kind of grace
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
if a world is made of stories then,
it seems I've forgotten mine
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made too lightly
and all the love for which I've paid
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
if a world is made of stories then,
it seems I've forgotten mine
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
how did I end up with mine?
to feel the brush of memory
faded scenes in aching silence
a waking moment like a dream
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made too lightly
and all the love for which I've paid
the rags and bones of loss
through the frosted glass of years I've seen
a picture book of sad reminders
the weight of all
there used to be
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
locked away in the fragile sunlit dreams I hold
photographs of distant shadows
a taste of all
that might not be
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made in silence
a yearning for
some kind of grace
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
if a world is made of stories then,
it seems I've forgotten mine
peering past life's worn grey window shades
promises I made too lightly
and all the love for which I've paid
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
if a world is made of stories then,
it seems I've forgotten mine
in a foreign room
in a foreign time
of all the stories I could have written
how did I end up with mine?
how did I end up with mine?
