Memories

Robert Wyatt

Compositor: Hugh Hopper

I know I cannot leave this place
Full of 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
I can't stop to think about
My life here today

Maybe I'll find someone
To get you off my mind
Take me away from here
And leave it, leave it all behind

Memories, can hang you up
And haunt you all your life?
You know, get so, you cannot stay
And yet cannot go

I could find out where she's gone
Today I feel so unhappy
Streets seem so empty now
I want you with me
