The Honeycutters - Useless Memories lyrics

Holding onto broken dishes, birthday candles and their wishes gathering dust on the window sill Flowers dying on the front porch faded as the dress you once wore hanging in the closet still You hear the back door swinging, same old record singing feels like time is slowing down And all these useless memories feel so warm and friendly when they keep on coming 'round Does your key unlock the door? Like it did all those years when your foot steps kissed this floor Do your fingers know the chords to every song you wrote here? is that what you come back for? Or did you just forget you don't live here anymore When you close your eyes it's all true all those little names he called you how he held you when you cried and now you've found some happiness but you treat it like a guest waiting on fate to change it's mind Like a trail of breadcrumbs leading back to where you come from yesterday will have it's charms but when evening's falling a lonely shadow's calling to take you from your baby's arms chorus
