you called me today and I cried
tainting the kiss of love's suicide
far from home in backwoods Ohio
a ring of promise to a bright tomorrow
twas not enough for I looked deep inside
as your eyes mirrored your true disguise
the dark of your soul let me see
what I needed to set me free
I still remember your face
in the sultry touch of a lover's embrace
the words reach out and wrap me warm
as my heart remembers how it was born
now I sit and wonder Why?
Why you had to live those lies
Why your pain couldn't let you see
what you had let yourself be
call after call
by shadows I fall
now winters come and I've grown
I smile again at little things, my heart I own
then I hear you say
memories sometimes find a way
on a lonely day life moves on
reminiscing in a Texan's song
