What Passes For the Past

Well, the hall is full of whispers, and the walls are grey and blank
Shadows roost on rusty nails, where her pictures used to hang
Mister, I made one false move, so she finally moved on
After what I went and did, the past should be done and gone

Chorus

But what passes for the past
Are regrets in an empty glass
The only things that want me
Are memories that haunt me
Cos the things I see most clear
Long ago all disappeared
I reach for love beyond my grasp
Cos that’s what passes for the past

Perfumed letters by the bottle, I just pour and sit and stare
I don’t even have to read them, what they said still fills the air
Yesterday becomes tomorrow, that one mistake was mine
Until time lets me take it back, drinkin’ takes me back in time

Chorus

Mornings just serve to remind me
That my future is behind me

Chorus

this just got a nice traditional demo by my co-writer Al Carmichael.

I aint gonna lie... I LOVE THE SONG!!!!! I think the lyrics are brilliant! The only thing I could say is that it sounds like throughout the piece there's a very repetitive melody - although I know nothing about country, but I think this song is really great!

Good luck and Take Care

thanks aimusic.

Very melancholic.
I like it.

Nice effective lead break too.

thanks dave and hey...that phrase about the kettle is a crack-up, did you think of it yourself?

No, I have to admit, it was someone elses.

Could add to it and make a song though:

I put the kettle on today,
it didn't suit me,
So I thought I'd try a coffee cup,
which really made me see,
there's more to life than image,
don't worry what folks think,
hold on, I've got an idea,
I'll try the kitchen sink!

there you go Dave...half way there.

So according to the lyric the only thing that passes for the past is regret? I can turn on the radio and hear 5 songs like this in an hour
Maybe they're in high demand? Clever hook though, tried listening to the music but his low voice and the music made me wanna jump off a cliff, too depressing, people like that i guess, good luck

Rob, this is the same Aaron from that other website.

Aaron, get a life...
