Memory Lane

Sat in the center of the room I'd lived in for a lifetime There were boxed stacked around me, I was moving soon Not all of them were mine Memories all packed away in plastic bags Where they can't be touched Somewhere I can see them But they won't hurt as much Walking down memory lane The frosted window panes Waiting for summer rain Walk the roads you used to And pick up the things you dropped They've been waiting Everything exactly where you left it But the colors have changed Begun to fade Left out in the sun too long On a warm fall day But pick it up, examine it It was always that way Walking down memory lane The frosted window panes Waiting for summer rain Every few steps I pause Longing for what has gone Turn and continue on It feels like dreaming Can't shake the feeling I've somehow been here before The seasons changing The flowers fading I thought there'd be something more Turn and continue on Walking down memory lane The frosted window panes Waiting for summer rain Every few steps I pause Longing for what has gone Turn and continue on Sit in the center of the room You've lived in for a lifetime Everything exactly where you left it But the colors have changed
