I wrote this song when I was sixteen and wouldve forgotten all about it except that it was one of my fathers favorites.
Ive got MEMORIES
That are etched in stone
And theyve stayed with me
While Ive grown
But other images are
Painted on the rain
Some broken memory train
And I know the face
But cant recall the name
Like a distant season
Of the mind
That was quickly
Left behind
Like a memory book
I know the time but
Cant recall the place
Or I know the name
But cant recall the face
MEMORIES
Hit the breeze
And the fragile ones
Are blown away
Like milkweed seeds
Some line or phrase
Recalls those distant days
But in a foggy haze
Soon forgotten
Ive got MEMORIES
That are etched in stone
And theyve stayed with me
While Ive grown
But other images are
Painted on the rain
Some broken memory train
And I know the face
But cant recall the name
