"Someone I Used To Love" lyrics

"Someone I Used To Love"
(feat. Nanci Griffith)

All the days we've been together
All the days we've been apart
Add up to a bunch of nothing
If I'm not still in your heart

I never want you to be
Just a page in my history
Someone I used to love

Your voice breathed in my ear
Or on the telephone
All the tender things we've whispered
To keep from feeling alone

May they never come to be
Just cold gems set in memory
Of someone I used to love

This current flows between us
That will not be denied
You draw me in towards you
Like the moon pulls at the tide

May no shadow ever fall
That will make me have to call
You someone I used to love
