The Memory of You

I am thinking of a freight train, I am wishing on an airplane Yeah anything to get me out of here Fly me away, far away from yesterday, take me away Far away from the memory of you And this ol' town it don't seem like it used to I look around, all I can see is you All our old friends they've up and moved away I see your smile reflected everyday, so while i'm here i'm consumed By the memory of you And there's a road out far beyond the highway B'neath the stars one sweet short summer night We held each other, tied in the arms of moonlight That mean old sun, had to come, take you away And all that's left is the scar and the memory of you There's an old house on Hazel avenue Where we once lived and played and prayed together We did our best but nothing lasts forever Well looking back, I know that it was all that we could do A haunted man, oh yes I am by the memory of you I wish her well wherever she might be With another lover or running wild and free See I can't trace the days that come between us My mind drifts, like a ship upon a silent sea Taking me back to yesteryear and the memory of me Taking me back to yesteryear and the memory of me
