A Distant Memory

A DISTANT MEMORY - Written by Carroll Bryant

You came unannounced

Prepared to take me down

And I … fell into your spell

You ran all around

So scared of what you found

And I … was pulled in oh, so well

The world was ours to own

But you left me all alone

And never in our history

Did you ever say you were sorry

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

You came with the wind

Prepared to feed me sin

And I … opened up my mouth

You danced in my sights

Claiming all my nights

And I … couldn’t find my way out

The world was ours to play

The ways you did betray

And never in the life did you live

In a house where you could ever forgive

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

The jaded words you used ... to kiss

Hit their target

You never miss the chance

To roll up all your sleeves

Then punch me in the face before you leave

The crazy way you sneak

Is the magic

You can’t believe the trance

Your lips did put on me

And never left a trace of anything

You came unannounced

Prepared to take me down

And I … fell into your spell

Into your hell

You never say you’re sorry

Every now and then I might pretend

That somewhere in your heart

There’s a place for you and me

Every single day I watch it fade away

Until I’m just aloof enough to be

A distant memory

And everyday it seems to me to be

A distant memory

And you never say you’re sorry
