Souvenirs

Someone wants a piece of you
|
Never let 'em pay
|
What you do not give them
|
Time takes anyway
|
|
Had I known what love is worth
|
I could have saved the tears
|
Might have come in handy
|
Like souvenirs
|
|
I didn't see her comin'
|
'Til my head turned in surprise
|
Thinking I must know her
|
But it was her thin disguise
|
|
She padded up her innocence
|
And tightly cinched her fears
|
But she saved a little room
|
For souvenirs
|
|
I still go to pieces
|
But I don't go as often
|
Placeless times in space
|
Where all the edges soften
|
|
She took me away
|
Where I couldn't send her
|
I knew that she would leave me
|
Something to remember
|
|
I wanted more than one
|
Until I found the one I wanted
|
Her memories are ghosts now
|
Though I'm still pretty haunted
|
|
What we gave each other
|
Ain't exactly clear
|
Probably comes under the heading
|
Of souvenirs
|
|
Pieces, bits, and pieces
|
Add up through the years
|
I've collected a small fortune
|
In souvenirs
|
