Ghost Of A Memory
This is a song
About a memory still sore
I'll only sing it once
So please listen a little more
This is a song
About my everlasting pain
About all my sorrows
And about how I went insane
Please, open up your ears
And listen to my song
And I promise that
I won't make it too long
Three years ago, in a small Texas town
In a forgotten place, that's rarely ever found
In the fading photographs of a time I once knew
Are a million reminders of dreams I made with you
Times that we laughed, and times that we cried
Times when we were honest, and times that we lied
Memories that now have all but faded through
A thousand forgotten seconds I spent with you
But now there's nothing left, and nothing I can do
I'm helpless at the mercy of the time ticking by
And all I have left to do, is sit here asking why
Why must things change and why must things die
This is a song
About a memory still sore
I'll only sing it once
So please listen a little more
This is a song
About my everlasting pain
About all my sorrows
And about how I went insane
Please, open up your ears
And listen to my song
And I promise that
I won't make it too long
Three years ago, as we stood at my door
You told me something that I'll never forget
You said "goodbye, I won't see you any more"
Then you turned away and walked into the sunset
As my front door slammed my heart fell
And just like glass, it shattered into dust
Dissolving into nothingness, like iron into rust
And now three years later, after so much time
Echoes of our past drift through old broken chimes
This was a song
About a memory still sore
I only sang it once
No need to listen anymore
This was a song
About my everlasting pain
About all my sorrows
And about how I wnet insane
You lended me your ears
And listened to my song
And as I promised
It didn't last too long
Thank you for hearing
My sad little tale
About how my heart
Became so brittle and frail
As we part our seperate ways
And walk down our paths
I hope throughout your days
This story gives you some laughs
Well this is my goodbye
As I leave this old banquet room
And I walk down to the place
Where I will finally be able to die
And finally see the face I saw so long ago
The only love I ever had, and the only I'll ever know
