What I Remember

Here's what I remember

It really was that tender

The day I gave my heart away

The day that I surrendered

Here's the thing that I recall

We never had that much at all

And I never knew until the fall

Before I never cared at all

I've started to know what they mean

That everything is just a dream

A string of memories and steam

And disappearing days

Life is a foreign land

Impossible to understand

Once we had the precious bird in hand

And let him slip away

Here's the thing I recollect

The place was a little derelict

You added poison to the wine

Told myself that it was fine

You said this is just the way things are

As long as anyone remembers when

I started to agree and then

I started to remember
