How Long Does It Take a Memory To Drown

Say, it's still snowing and the lines are down

If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down

You'll have to pardon me while I'll try to drink this down

It seems the warmest thing left around

No, I hadn't noticed that the fire was dead

I been feelin' cold but I hadn't thought about that yet

By the way, friend, what time is it?

How long does it take a memory to drown?

How long does it take for a love to die?

How long 'til my feelings find a place where they can hide?

All my friends say that time'll bring me round

How long does it take a memory to drown?

By the way, do you know if the mails run today?

No, I'm just watchin' for some bills I need to pay

No, I don't know just why it is she's gone

Lord knows I've never done her wrong

Yes, I know it's late, you hate to leave this way

No, thanks a lot, girl, but I guess I'd better stay

Won't you try me again some brighter day

Right now I've got these memories to drown

How long does it take for a love to die?

How long 'til my feelings find a place where they can hide?

All my friends say that time'll bring me round

How long does it take a memory to drown?
