lyrics

They say the words spill from your guts when your heart's on the floor
And melodies appear when birds don't sing anymore
But there are no words inside this heart no song in my ears
So the only thing upon the page is the blooming of my tears

So darling know I've cried all I can cry over you
Forgive me if I can't sing a song about you too
To find the chords to ease the pain of all these memories
But I'd be a singin' man if you'd forgive a fool like me

Back in the days I had your love the songs came with ease
As natural as water flows or sunlight through trees
But as water can't flow backwards light can't retreat to the sun
And what I've said can't be unsaid and I've done can't be undone

So darling know I've cried all I can cry over you
Forgive me if I can't sing a song about you too
To find the chords to ease the pain of all these memories
But I'd be a singin' man if you'd forgive a fool like me

Used To
by Wilma Laverne Miner

True Grit: The drench of studio reverb can't hide Miner's soulful country voice-- equal parts Lucinda Williams, Patsy Cline with a touch of Margo Timmons. A hook worthy of being played on late nite WSM-AM circa 1963. Used to:Melodic and biting with a guitar riff that Keith Richards would be proud of, there is nothing this song does not have.
