Without a Trace

if you let it run wild
the soul in your reckless child
where will that leave you?
do you feel you’ll have
no-one to free you on that island?

if you show them the sun
every garden of dreams you had
planted when you were young
where will that leave you?
do you dare follow life through before you’ve begun?

CHORUS

too sad you’ve been to hear the sounds of laughter
they’re few & far between the silence & wonder
who are you to say you’ll never give it out again?
you’ve got to wait, you’ve got to keep faith

‘cause it’ll be
all gone
in time
too long past to cry
just drape yourself over these days
they’ll disappear without a trace

if you let it all out
all the grief you want to
shout aloud about
where will that leave you?
do you fear you’ll have nothing left over to give out

when she whispered her spell
you threw your dream wishes
down love’s bottomless well
& where did that leave you?
did you feel you had no-one to reach to in your shell?

REPEAT CHORUS

without a trace of sadness
without a trace of memory...
