Memories

He was the congregation's vagrant

With an unrequited love

When your passion's exaltation

Then finding refuge is not enough

She was the youngest of the family

And the last to be let go

And they decided they would try

And make it on their own

Oh, memories, where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known

How I miss yesterday

And how I let it fade away

Where'd you go?

When July became December

Their affection fought the cold

But they couldn't quite remember

What inspired them to go

And it was beautifully depressing

Like a street car named Desire

They were fighting for their love

That started growing tired

Oh, memories, where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known

How I miss yesterday

And how I let it fade away

Don't fade away

When money lost momentum

And the bills were piling high

Then the smile had finally faded

From the apple of their eye

And they were young and independent

And they thought they had it planned

Should have known right from the start

You can't predict the end

Oh, memories, where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known

How I miss yesterday

And how I let it fade away

Oh, memories, where'd you go?

You were all I've ever known

How I miss yesterday

And how I let it fade away

Don't fade away

Ah
