lyrics

IN THE BACKGROUND
(Brenda Liddiard)

There are things that we carry in the back of our minds
all the time
and we don’t even know that they are there
most of the time.
Memories that surface on the glimpse of a memory
the hint of a perfume
a scene from an old movie.

Stirring fragments of a past put aside
slide shots of faces it’s easier for us to hide
but oh, how your heart aches from missing those smiles and those eyes
oh, how your heart aches from missing those smiles and those eyes.

And most of the time we don’t even know this is happening
so strong are the heart’s defences against feeling
so pressing the urgency of the day’s demands
so pressing the urgency of the day’s demands.

Love lies waiting in the background
love lies waiting in the background
love lies waiting in the background
for you to hear it’s forgotten song.
