MADAM MOURNINGTON I remember mornings I remember stars I remember sunlight And moonlight and twilight and sky I remember all these things, but why? This is no place for memories This is no place for tears These long-forgotten memories Must become forgotten years Here no one has a past Forget your memories fast They'll haunt us if we let them last But why do I remember mornings? And so in mourning still am I This is no place for pity They're mad—this is the cost Yet every girl reminds me Of the child, the child I've lost I'll look the other way Endure another day Embrace the part that I must play But why do I remember mornings? In mourning still am I And so I'll leave them as I found them My soul has turned to stone But these cages that surround them Just as well may be my own Was I always grey? Was I always cold? When did I become so old? Was I ever kind? Did I ever laugh? Did I ever love? Did I ever live? But I remember laughter And joy before she fell This life that followed after Is no life... I live in hell! God save me from my past Let darkness follow fast I've let her go and said my last goodbye But I remember mornings Now I'm in mourning 'til I die
