WITHOUT A TRACE

WITHOUT A TRACE

Tell me, where are those gray eyes like arrows?
Dark hair the shade of raven’s wing
Do they now find their sleep ‘neath the barrows?
No message does the nightbird bring

I begged and pleaded daily
Implored on bended knee
The one I love so madly
Return him back to me

CHORUS
Midnight winds roll through weeping willows
Constellations doomed to form your face
Fifteen miles east of Amarillo
Lover lost and gone without a trace

Once we walked hand in hand through the meadows
My feet now wander without aim
Our days of summer now cast in the shadows
Never again to bear his name

I begged and pleaded daily
Implored on bended knee
The one I love so madly
Return back to me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I begged and pleaded daily
Implored on bended knee
The one I love so madly
Return him back to me!

CHORUS
Midnight winds roll through weeping willows
Constellations doomed to form your face
Fifteen miles east of Amarillo
Lover lost and gone without a trace

Million tears cast upon my pillow
Consummation of the fall from grace
Fifteen miles east of Amarillo
Lover lost and gone without a trace

Alone…
