Traces of my love

Richard Thompson


The songbird sings so clear 
Like your voice upon my ear 
I seem to hear traces of my love 

The river rushes down 
There's sweetness in the sound 
I seem to hear traces of my love 

When I lay on my bed 
I find no rest, instead I seem to see 
You here with me 
O will that sweet day ever be 
O, o traces of my love 
O, o traces of my love 

In every crowded place 
In every stranger's face 
I seem to see traces of my love 

Inside my darkest day 
When the world seems cold and grey 
I seem to see traces of my love 

If I try to turn my head 
Or close my eyes 
Instead I see you there 
O everywhere 
Shadows of a face so rare 
O, o traces of my love 
O, o traces of my love 

If I try to turn my head 
Or close my eyes 
Instead I see you there 
O everywhere 
Shadows of a face so rare 
O, o traces of my love 
O, o traces of my love
