If I could get a fix on you— 
If I could navigate the void— 
But star-crossed pilots can't triangulate 
By constellations long-destroyed. 

And now the wind has changed 
and you have taken to the skies— 
Gravity can’t hold you anymore. 
I knew the day would come 
from the remoteness in your eyes, 
And from the colours that you wore. 

I always knew you were a beautiful explosion, 
Blazing into space. 
Glanced off the atmosphere, 
shocked breathless but alive, 
Then gone without a trace. 

If I could get a word to you— 
If I could tune in to the shift— 
But nothing’s familiar since the shockwave hit, 
And set the frequencies adrift. 

Now the light has changed; 
can’t find you out there anymore— 
Ancient as a distant star. 
Time, it blasts away the dazzling disguise, 
And shows you only as you are. 

I always knew you were a beautiful explosion, 
Blazing into space. 
Smashed through the atmosphere, 
shocked breathless but alive, 
Then gone without a trace. 

If I could get a fix on you— 
If I could look behind the mask— 
But you never played the innocent, 
And so I never thought to ask.

CARY GRACE - Without A Trace (Radio Edit)

Cary Grace is an American expat, residing in the South West of England since 2005. She is a songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist, specialising in vintage analogue synthesizers.

Music is great. There is good in all of it. I make playlists with songs I like. There are a lot. I hope you enjoy them too!

This came to me when I was transfering this slide of and old very dear friend of mine form Paris. It was in my head so I ran downstairs and just played it all in one go. It encapsulates my feelings when this picture was taken in the 1970s.
