Souvenirs

All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors All that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they all bring me tears I can't forget the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs Memories, they can't be bought Can't be won at carnivals for free When it took me years to get these souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears Can't forget the way they rob me, yeah Of my childhood souvenirs Memories, they can't be bought Can't be won at carnivals for free When it took me years to get these souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
