Lyrics Help Me Remember - Hayes Carll

The leaves on that ancient
Old oak tree are
Starting to turn
The same shades as the
Flames of this fire that I'm watching burn
There's an unfinished
Crossword resting on
The arm of this chair
And for the life of me
I can't recall if I'm the one who left it there
It feels so familiar as
I watch you walk in the room
At first I don't recognize
You but then I damn sure recognize that perfume
And you kneel down
Beside me and gentle
Take hold of my hand
I say, "Baby I'm scared
And I'm not sure I know
Who I am"
Can you help me
Remember who it is
I used to be
Can you tell me the
Story of my family, my
Hopes and my dreams
Did I try to stand for
Something or would I
Always fold
Did I do things when I
Was young to be proud of
When I was old
Was I a house on fire
Or was I just a slow
Burning ember
Could you please help me remember
This ring on my finger
Is golden, faded and worn
Like it was forged in the
Fires of love and has
Weathered
The storms
I try to make sense
Of these old photographs
On the wall
But they're just faces
And places that I don't
Know at all
