I Don't Think of You

If I think of you

I don’t think of you for long

My mind’s inclined to drift

That muddy old river

Watch the memories flow by

I don’t try to catch one

Like a fisherman with his fly 

I don’t think of you

If I think of you

If I hear your name

It won’t spark a flame

Won’t ignite the pain

A lit match don’t light again

Smoke in a ring   

Curling and climbing 

A kite that broke its string

Watch the memory fly

White cloud in a blue sky

I don’t think of you 

If I don’t think of you

A heart cannot outsmart itself

It only knows the truth

I don’t think of you

I don’t think of you
