Memories

I went down to the docks
To look for answers to
My hopes and dreams
I stared into the water
Trying to figure out
What this all means
I saw a lonely man
An I standing alone
Where once was we
Then felt your warmth embrace me
On the first of these last nights together

Today I packed up
All my things
Got down all posters
From the walls
Tomorrow I'll clean all that's left
No more trace of me at all
Our house it might be empty now
A vacant shell to leave behind
But not a single thing on earth
Can steal away
The life spent by your side

For every single hour with you
I wish there were
A thousand more
I know we're miles and miles apart
Seas and lakes and lands between
But every single time
My mind just drifts away
To distant days
To better times
Yet to come
I cannot wait to live with you
New memories

I'll keep this
Where no one listens
No one
No one
I'll remember

I'll keep this
Where no one listens
Always
Always
I'll remember
