Lyrics

WHERE ARE THE TRACES?
(Music by Louis Rosen, Lyric by Thom Bishop),

I know a guy
He’s fought his whole life
Still feels most at home in the ring
A jab to the ribs
A cross to the heart
Can he take what those younger guys bring?

The hands of a clock
The eye of a needle
The legs of a table
The arms of a chair
You leave your impression
On all that you touch
But where are the traces?
Were you even there?
Were you even there?

I know a guy
Enjoyed a charmed life
But that life didn’t end up so well
Alone in a room,
A gun in his hand
Dead in some five-star hotel

The teeth of a comb
The mouth of a river
The spine of a book at
The foot of the stair
You scatter your dust
On all that you touch
But where are the traces?
Were you even there?
Were you even there?


I know a guy
He woke up today
His bones felt the weight of his past
He savored the tea
That passed through his lips
Hoped he could make this one last….

The hands of a clock
The eye of a needle
The legs of a table
The arms of a chair
You leave your impression
On all that you touch
But where are the traces?
Were you even there?

The teeth of a comb
The mouth of a river
The spine of a book at
The foot of the stair
You scatter your dust
On all that you touch
But where are the traces?
Were you even there?
Were you even there?
