Traces - Ralph McTell

No one ever hurt me the way that you hurt me

No one ever made me feel as good

No one ever wounded me and left the knife inside

And I don’t believe now anybody could

And I’ve no wish to relive the past

It would only make me blue

Maybe was the way she rose from the chair

A trace of perfume in the air

Whatever it was there was something there

Reminded me of you

Ain’t it funny how the heart remembers

Just when you thought it had all gone

When it only takes a stone to start an avalanche

Ooh, and the heart knows how to respond

And I’ve no wish to relive the past

It would only make me blue

Maybe was the way she rose from the chair

A trace of perfume in the air

Whatever it was there was something there

Reminded me of you

Reminded me of you
