Memories I

Do you remember
When you started to forget
The words
A face
The hurts
And the road you should take to come home
Do you remember
When it blanked you out so bad
But the lights kept you running
And you locked the door so fast

Do you recall
What was drawn on the shower curtain
A lasting embrace
Telling tales of returns
You tripping about through the waiting
Do you remember
Do you remember

When sand got in your hair
Or slipping notes and hoping
When all the firsts were met
And leaving wasn't knowing
Do you recall

They're banging on your door
You've seen those smiles before
You left for your church - or that girl at the store
Was it her
Leaving traces for your thoughts
And the ones you could know as your own
And the ones you could hold as your own
And the ones you once knew as your own
And the ones you once held as your own
And the ones you once knew

And sand got in your hair
You slipped and kept on hoping
And all your firsts were met
And leaving's still not knowing

And sand got in your hair
You slipped and kept on hoping
And all your firsts were met
And leaving's still not knowing
We could recall
We could recall
