Memory

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone

In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
all alone in the moonlight
I can smile of the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp
seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
Soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
and I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
the street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you'll touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun...
