Her words are echoing As i descend stairs Mind your head dear she says And the dust down there And i'll bend my back in her basement Come here, no use in useless. ***** Does it make you wonder? Do you hold it closer? Or do you leave it all behind? Stow away, throw away Because memories will remind. Here's a portrait wrapped in news print Its like a building boarded Tired and derelict Out of sight, out of mind These things we will find Makes me pause, gives me shivers. A picture in a locket Forget me, not forgotten And everything is quiet. Stow away, throw away Because memories will remind. Stow away, throw away and blow away On the wind they will scatter. Are we to be remembered By all the things we treasure? A memories' a dream In the eyes of a stranger In the garden she will tell me how she forgets Her eyes are smiling, she sits and recollect And then is a moments silence A photograph in a her hand reminds her And there's ether in her eyes Stow away, throw away Because memories will remind. Stow away, throw away and blow away On the wind they'll scatter. And everything is quiet. And everything is quiet.
