Mister Memory
Far away from home without a toothbrush
Or a comb I'm soakin' up away
Lookin' like a bum who isn't clean enough
To thumb a ride or ride a train
I think about the field that only yesterday
Was real but then I know the pain
Of bein' without you to love but I doubt you
Can feel it the same?
When you claim that no-one's to blame
And walk away with what's his name
Walkin' half asleep I have to consentrate
To keep myself from fallin' down
I know I could erase this sad expression
On my face if I were just a clown
Wish I had a destination better than
A railway station leavin' town
I'm feelin' so lonely with you
I'm only the fool who is wrong
All along to think I belong
When he's the one who sang your song
Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why babe?
Why babe?
Pickin' up a phone that didn't have a dial
Or tone I lost my only dime
Tryin' to say a word that I love you
You never heard a word that didn't rhyme
I guess it's only fate that kinda made me
Hesitate when I was out of time
There's no use pretending a happier ending
While all I can do
Without you is no what we knew
Before you told me we were through
Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why babe?
Why babe?
Or a comb I'm soakin' up away
Lookin' like a bum who isn't clean enough
To thumb a ride or ride a train
I think about the field that only yesterday
Was real but then I know the pain
Of bein' without you to love but I doubt you
Can feel it the same?
When you claim that no-one's to blame
And walk away with what's his name
Walkin' half asleep I have to consentrate
To keep myself from fallin' down
I know I could erase this sad expression
On my face if I were just a clown
Wish I had a destination better than
A railway station leavin' town
I'm feelin' so lonely with you
I'm only the fool who is wrong
All along to think I belong
When he's the one who sang your song
Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why babe?
Why babe?
Pickin' up a phone that didn't have a dial
Or tone I lost my only dime
Tryin' to say a word that I love you
You never heard a word that didn't rhyme
I guess it's only fate that kinda made me
Hesitate when I was out of time
There's no use pretending a happier ending
While all I can do
Without you is no what we knew
Before you told me we were through
Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why babe?
Why babe?
