lyrics

Dragging the Past Behind Me – Words and music by Phil Klahn

I said “Goodbye” to an old friend and I
Swear I felt no remorse
With the lethal power of a dying flower
Staring down at the corpse

Send me a little sympathy
Not like I need it
A hear a tiny symphony
And it’s playing just for me

Dragging the past behind me
Picking up speed
Dragging the past behind me

But it can’t touch me any more
It can’t touch me any more

Now I stare in the glass at a ghost from the past
I swear I just don‘t know
As the future surrounds me, confuses, confounds me
And what do I have to show?

I reconnect my tattered soul
Think I might need it
You’re talking like a funeral
And you say it’s just not me

Dragging the past behind me
My faithful friend
Dragging the past behind

But you can’t touch me any more
You can’t touch me any more
You can't touch me any more
You can’t touch me now

Dragging the past behind me
Caught in the web
Dragging the past behind me

But you can’t touch me any more
You can’t touch me any more
You can't touch me any more
You can’t touch me now
