Memories

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
cnd the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
c fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
cnd soon
It will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
cnd I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
cnd a new day will begin

Burnt-out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
cnother day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
cll alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
