Memory Of You Lyrics

Memory Of You lyrics

It’s uncanny 

It’s something strange 

It’s something I have 

Long tried to ignore 

Behind the curtain 

Behind the door 

If I keep my eyes cast down 

It just might go away 



It’s got no name 

It’s got no shape 

It can’t be photographed 

And it lives in no one place 

It’s got no shame 

And it knows no grace 

And it’s got two long arms 

Reaching out for me 



I hit the light 

I’ll take my stand 

Let’s have your best 

Show your hand 

The shadows run 

And I see true 

It’s just the memory of you 



So what’s your pleasure 

My phantom friend 

What thing could bring you out 

To haunt this world again 

Some sweet revenge? 

Some dread command? 

Or do you only need 

Someone to hold your hand? 



Why did you leave 

Your will so vague? 

Just three blue lines 

Across the page: 

You take the vase 

I’ll keep the rose 

And the memory of you
