Lady Memory

Do you wonder what will be
Of us in mere ten years?
Will it just be tears
Our so sweet legacy?
Can you remember how it was
To be so adored?
Now we're so ignored
Time's broken in the middle for us...
I'm just a troubadour
The jester of your court
No one's impressed by my old tricks
But let me start with style
And maybe make you smile
Lady Memory, where did you go?
This new century needs you as host
I could use some help
On how to unfold myself
So does history have a side?
There's not a thing I do
No matter dreamed or true
Which puts me on a shifting tide...
Rock revolution feels so old
Many opinions crawl
There's nothing left to fall
No story left that could be told
If everything is done
Then tell me what's the fun
I guess a classic is what remains
But which one I can't say
Should stay or go away...
Lady Memory, where did you go?
This new century needs you as host
I could use some help
On how to unfold myself
Lady Memory, would you let it be?
All your stories are keeping us from sleep
I could use some rest
On crying for what's next!
I'm pressed back and forth
A phantom of your court
A wandering specter through the dark
Maybe somewhere in time
Someone will hear me rhyme
Lady Memory, where did you go?
This new century needs you as host
I could use some help
On how to unfold myself
Lady Memory, would you let it be?
All your stories are keeping us from sleep
I could use some rest
On crying for what's next!
