Traces
Tell me, when you visit homes
Luxurious or bare,
Entering through portals wide
Or up a narrow stair,
Listening to music
Conjured from the piano keys,
Answering your hosts` polite inquiries,
Tell me, please,
Do you leave a trace they wipe
From the parquet floor?
Do you hosts exchange a glance
As you close the door?
Or are they glad that you have been
And sad that you depart?
Do you leave a trace unseen
To cherish in the heart?

Or are they glad that you have been
And sad that you depart?
Do you leave a trace unseen
