Old Memories

He never fully returned from those old memories

Every day old memories are new ones for him

Times just for old times' sake

All he does is cry, cry, cry

Tears in his eyes

Tears on his face

Tears falling down

When she used to hold him

Now he can't let go

She treated him like someone he used to play with

Easing out the way he did when he walked away

At times laughing was crying's lie

At times quarreling was a long goodbye

At times running was a little too slow

At times tomorrow had no place to go

Once upon a time he was cool as cool could be

Different now, mostly trying not to think, think, think

She loved him, told him staying's not her way

Now days are night shadows left over

Good times gone by

Her face not in any face he meets

He can't help but look

Could that be her laughter floating down the street?

This wasn't supposed to happen

Hadn't counted on this

He never fully returned from those old memories

At times laughing was crying's lie

At times quarreling was a long goodbye

At times running was a little too slow

At times tomorrow had no place to go

She gave him access to her soul

Before she closed the door

She gave him someone to hold

Before she took it away

Before the closing door

Before she went away

At times laughing was crying's lie

At times quarreling was a long goodbye

At times running was a little too slow

At times tomorrow had no place to go

At times laughing was crying's lie

At times quarreling was a long goodbye

At times running was a little too slow

At times tomorrow had no place to go
