It All Comes Back

about

Trains leave no trace once they pass by and vanish in the distance. Memories, on the other hand, can seem to disappear without a trace, only to reappear many years later with unexpected emotional force. Photograph by Rob Lambert. Used by permission.

lyrics

Ten years since I've been with you, Six years since we spoke
Nothing there to be repaired, If it's broken, leave it broke
But yesterday I saw you, It tightened up my throat
Swore that I was over you, til that sleeping beast awoke

When trains rush by the highway, there's nothing left but track
I just have to see your face
It all comes back

Amanda used to sing to me at the dimming of the day
I never felt so safe and sound, And then she went away
I shut down like an engine that lost its driving wheel
Fifty-five years later I discover how I feel

When trains rush by the highway, there's nothing left but track
I just have to hear that song
It all comes back

The rustling of the dogwood, the sweet smell of the pine
What is it about memory, the ghosts we leave behind?
We bury our emotion deep below the frost
And when we least expect it, we're reminded of the cost

When trains rush by the highway, there's nothing left but track
I just have to feel the breeze, it all comes back
Yes I just have to hear your name
It all comes back

Songs that hover around folk, rock & country genres with a mostly gentle, acoustic guitar-based mid-60s sound. The themes are universal: love (Jerome, You Are True), loss (Go), desire (Hunger), memory (It All Comes Back), aging (Golden Years), empathy (Kindness), & gratitude (Grateful). The delivery is understated, but the storytelling packs an emotional wallop that rewards careful listening. ... more
