It's a memory A certain kind of memory That you cling to 'til you're dead and gone I try my best to forget, but I just can't shake it I didn't give you my heart just to break it Look away my love Look away from me After you have had your way There won't be nothin' left to see What would my father say If he know that I ever came around here? But oh, the wrath of God Is all that I truly have to fear Look away my love Look away from me After you have had your way There won't be nothin' left to see Now the dust will never settle The wind blows high across the sweeping plains And I will be a single girl For my days that do remain How I curse your mother and your father And the very day that you were born For the girl that once lied in your arms Is the girl that I will forever mourn Look away my love Look away from me After you have had your way There won't be nothin' left to see
