Lost in the Memory

He's standing with strangers outside the school gates

And waits for a bundle of joy

That he make with a woman he loved

She left him until fate

Twisted and turned life around

She kept the kid

For a child needs the love of a mother

Like the blood of a rose needs a lover

It's a role that is honed

A bomb that no one can deny

But it's hard

To forget what he had

And pretend that he's starting again

Lost in the memory

Once, it was family

Where is the sunshine now?

Dead end of emptiness, it's in his soul

Like puda

Building a hole in the wall

Removing the meanings of things which belong

To a life which no longer is his

School bells ring, little hearts sing

There's a stampede of feet

To the rhythm of spring

They spill out like jelly beans

Into their hands once again

But it's hard

To forget what he had

And pretend that he's starting again

Lost in the memory

Once, it was family

Where is the sunshine now?

Lost in the memory

Once, it was family

Where is the sunshine?

She's running towards him

A life that he's waited so long to see

Her face is in bloom like a cherry tree

Happiness wells in his eyes

Born to your carry, my love

He sings

I'll do my best to pretend this

Nothing wrong

Let's both

Sing our song

Mmm-mmm

And we'll sing until we're lost

In the memory

Once, it was family

Where is the sunshine now?

Now?

Now
