A Memory's Lament

A memory's lament

Reuben and the dark

(Capo 5th fret)

I wrote a song for the ones that I remember

A memory's lament, all the lovers I have met

Well I wrote a song for the the ones that I forget

And take these, dreams from me

I don't need an easy way now...

They're just dragging my body around

Well I... Buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands...

And you said

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, and your fingers through my hair

When I wanted you to stay with me

You come from the forest I bet

With hair as long as a sunset...

You come from the forest I bet

With soul as good as a hunter's guess

And I was, younger than you

Well I saw these wicked ways

Another bill that time will... Pay

Well I... Buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands

And you said...

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, and your fingers through my hair

When I wanted you to stay with me

Who knew you'd be leaving me for

Buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands

And you said

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, and your fingers through my hair

When I wanted you to stay with me

Who knew you'd be leaving me for dead... (ends on am)
