Careless Memories
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So soon,
just after you've gone
my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened
Chorus:
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory
On the table
signs of love lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It's not as though--
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following
(chorus)
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
follow you?
Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...
