Ascent of Memory

Lyrics & Vocals: Chris Winters
Music: Rich Huston, Chris Winters

Why now this feeling?
Visions of loving
Breathing your jasmine
Memories recovering
Your perfume is with me
It rests in my hand
A gift from a stranger
That makes its demands

I’ve never looked back
Over my shoulder
Dreams I must follow
Can’t leave them to molder
Planes I have boarded
And borders I’ve crossed
Searching for something
Without knowing I’m lost

Can I turn around?
Can I hold my ground?
Can I face the dangers of the past?
Can the present hold me fast?
Bonds may stretch but never break
As time pulls them along
Memory is so seductive
Calls out like a siren’s song

Details and fragments
A puzzle unfinished
Every last spark
Glows undiminished
What do last words mean?
They’re poems left playing
On an answering machine
Talking without saying
Anything
