The Collector
They call me the collector
I've been that way right from the start
Cos' I'll find a little memory
And put it right beside my heart
When the shoebox is overflowing
I put it on the shelf
It's only then I take a good look
I take another good look at myself
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there maybe recollection
I finally believe
That I have found the answer
In you and you alone
Cos' you live in the present
And I'm about to call that home
Was all this time I wasted
Saving up my past
A lesson that I had to learn
Or just a reason to be sad
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there may be recollection
I finally believe
That now I'll start the living
I've always longed to lead
With pictures and mementos
Just fading memories
They call me the collector
I've been that way right from the start
Cos' I'll find a little memory
And put it right beside my heart
When the shoebox is overflowing
I put it on the shelf
It's only then I take a good look
I take another good look at myself
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there maybe recollection
I finally believe
That I have found the answer
In you and you alone
Cos' you live in the present
And I'm about to call that home
Was all this time I wasted
Saving up my past
A lesson that I had to learn
Or just a reason to be sad
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there may be recollection
I finally believe
That now I'll start the living
I've always longed to lead
With pictures and mementos
Just fading memories
They call me the collector
