lyrics

Remnants
By Rick Parnell

verse 1:
She doesn’t hear quite what I’m saying
Sighs through every tune I’m playing
If someone’s happy someone else is paying
Refrain:
With the remnants of her pain
No one leaves but no one stays

Verse 2:
Chewing gum that’s lost its flavor
Counting beads could never save her
Soon she’ll nail another savior
Refrain:
With the remnants of her pain
No one leaves but no one stays

Chorus:
Looking over her shoulder
Brighter days there to discover
A sunny day next to her brother
It all fades away

Verse 3:
There’s a window beyond the curtain
What’s beyond that she’s just not certain
She thinks its bad until it worsens
Refrain:
The remnants of the pain
No one leaves but no one stays

(Solo):

Chorus:
Looking over her shoulder
Brighter days there to discover
A sunny day next to her brother
It all fades away

Verse 4:
I wonder if she’ll remember
The gifts of all her Decembers
The snow that’s melting now behind her
Refrain:
The remnants of her pain
No one leaves but no one stays

Chorus:
Looking over her shoulder
Brighter days there to discover
A sunny day next to her brother
It all fades away
