#55 Traces (Classics IV) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Faded photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces🪄
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of love🪄
Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letter🪄
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of love with me tonight🪄
I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she’ll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh, oh🪄
Traces of hope in the night
That she’ll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes
Oh, yeah

The Bath: Secret Heaven of Self-Absorption

“If I were a psychiatrist, I think I would like to inspect my patients’ bathrooms before investigating any other area of their lives.”

Mark Hampton (American Interior Designer, Writer & Illustrator; June 1st, 1940 to July 23rd, 1998)

“…provide a place for private pampering for a sybaritic mood that might otherwise be frowned on. Hidden from the scrutiny of others, these rooms are secret havens of self-absorption.”

“My bathroom is a temple of renewal and meditation.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 196 to 198 of 501.
