Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes songs work best with the simplest of arrangements. Hopefully this one reflects that notion. All my own work!
Dedicated to Evie for giving me the first line.

HURT’S FADING BRUISE
I was watching stars
Staring into space
About a million miles away
The universe stood still
Holding in its breath
A new song waiting there to play
There was a chill with a promise of change
Life can be so strange
CHORUS
So tell me your story
And I’ll tell you mine
While we still have time
I was looking lost
Sorry for myself
Dragging everybody down
The writer’s hand was poised
Waiting for the chance
To turn my hopelessness around
There was a warmth in your welcoming smile
Spared me from exile
CHORUS
We left it so late
To catch up with fate
There’s nothing here to lose
But hurt’s fading bruise
CHORUS
