Memories Won't Keep

©1997

Maihaugen, Norway

I stood outside your door and waited to be seen

And I come back for more and you fit me in-between

So I walked down your street to see where your love had gone

But all that I could see...I took the wrong turn

So go on take me down

I've never kissed the ground

And you so high above me

I see now how you saw me

But I've played the fool

One too many times for you

I've played the fool

One too many times for you

So I'll gather up the broken pieces

of promises once spoke as easy

As the body that I gave to you

You watch yourself just fall apart

I think I'm strong well that's a start

But all beginnings have an end they come to

So go on take your leave

Because now I finally see

The talk you made was cheap

And memories won't keep
