So I downloaded this Kara/Lee fanmix a couple days ago here from the awesome solestella and included in it was a song by Bear McCreary that he actually wrote for the film 'Rest Stop'. Yeah, I've never heard of it either. ANYWAY, most importantly, I realized when I was listening to it for the first time that it's actually the song that plays in Joe's Bar at the end of Taking a Break From All Your Worries. I know a lot of shippers have issues with that episode (I personally love it) but after listening and attempting to transcribe the lyrics, it makes that final scene even more deliciously painful. It is SO Kara/Lee (which Bear actually made a note of in his blog. Discuss!

Check out the song if you're interested. It's excellent, and Blues-y, and I think I've listened to it about 25 times since yesterday. Maybe you can help me figure out the lyrics I'm unsure of.


all that remains
music by Bear McCreary
performed by Raya Yarbrough

inside my mind
shades of visions
fading photographs
of you, of me
blurred black and white
as they flicker past

I watch silently
I wait estranged
passively observe
the past(?) returns
echoing words
what you said to me

memories of better days
are all that remains
one by one, without a trace
they fade away

bittersweet aftertaste
is all that remains
and every time the more I've lost
the less I've gained

I walk alone (?)
retrace my steps, where did I go wrong?
you've gone, moved on
seems I've been here, too many times before

memories of better days
are all that remains
one by one without a trace
they fade away

the bittersweet aftertaste
is all that remains
and every time the more I've lost
the less I've gained

they fade, too grey
such clear visions of what might have been
I keep them close
all that remains
