Title: Album of Memories

Verse
Shadows creep across the room as the day lays down it’s head

Those hidden thoughts and dreams of you climb slowly into bed

I choose memories from an album hidden in my mind

And pick a page to go to spend my dreaming time

Verse
We walk through forests, over hills, down valleys and cross streams

We never talk, not a spoken word, It’s only in my dreams

We near a bridge that spans my thoughts, one you cannot cross

I turn and look into your eyes and see what I have lost.

Bridge
You appear and all is good, but I know you will leave soon
Holding your hand with my mind hidden in my room

Chorus
Oh how deep the pain is when a heart is torn apart

Like losing a bet when you’ve gone all in, before the hand starts

You can’t go back and change the past no matter how hard you try

A slice of life you’ll never get back, and it makes you want to die

Song break ……with a sad harmonica

Verse
I look back and watch you wave, a tear drop hits the ground

A new flower grows before my eyes, so many it can’t be found

I’ve been here many times before and I’ll return for sure

Until I cross the great divide between my world and hers

Verse

Daylight comes my worlds disturbed, without a second thought

I rise from bed, take on the day, just like I’ve been taught

I empty out my mind taking nothing into day

When night returns I’ll lay down and pick another page

Chorus
