Memories

He was the congregation's vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion's exaltation And finding refuge is not enough She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go When 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 Streetcar 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've 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)
