These Reminders

?ese Reminders?Written & Performed by Max Stalling From the CD, ?de Afternoon?Submitted by Wes Wilson ([email protected]) Intro: I am reaching for the mantel where your picture and a candle stand, Too harsh a reminder to let stay. So I find a drawer that?deep and safe and I turn around and I walk away, surprised that I have found the strength at last. Every time the phone will ring I cannot seem to help but think that maybe it is you there on the line. But I know it?not and I must agree it was all just too hard for you and me, so the ringing goes unanswered every time. Chorus: Oh, I am left with these reminders Oh, will this hurtin?ver mend? Oh, it hurts to turn around and find you gone And me, here all alone again. That old man down at the coffee shop still asks me every time I stop by the way, how?the nice lady been? I just say you? doing fine, and I hope I?right ?ause I hate lying, and truth be known I?wishing you all the best. But every black car at every red light still takes my breath cause I know it might be you, and that?just something I cannot deal with yet. So I stick to roads that I know you would never have the cause to go And so far I? only broke down twice, that?right. Chorus It all comes down to just one thought, we thought we were but I guess we? not, and now we? got reminders all around. You? got yours and I? got mine and someday we? turn around and Find that somewhere in the middle the truth was lying. And oh, we? be free of these reminders. Oh, man, this old hurt will finally mend Oh, it won?hurt to turn and find you gone And me, here all alone again. Solo Outro:
