Memories

I know I cannot leave this place for the memories,
Things like the way they knew us all over town,
We used to walk the streets together,
We could be seen
Past shops where people knew us
Yeah, people knew.

I've got to choose between tomorrow and yesterday
Can't stop to think about my life, here today.

Memories can hang you up and haunt you,
All your life, you know,
Get so you cannot stay,
And yet cannot go.

Hey, I could find out where you've gone today,
I feel so unhappy,
Streets seem so empty now,
I want you, I want you in me
Maybe I'll find someone to get you
Off my mind,
Take me away from here
And leave it, leave it all behind

Oooooooh,
Memories can hang you up and haunt you,
All your life, you know,
Get so you cannot stay,
And yet cannot go.
