lyrics

Memory and East

Everyday - it's a struggle
I'm doin' good - then I stumble.
I realise that you're not there.

I know you're gone,
I know I messed up.
Broke your heart,
smashed-up my pick-up truck.
I know how quickly things can change.

And go from heaven to hell
from fine-dining to Taco Bell
from anniversary champagne
to cheap whiskey alone again

from honeymoon suites
to wandering the lonely streets
another couple smile and meet
on the corner of
Memory and East

They look so happy,
brand new lovers.
a thousand dresses and she chose the right one -
and he's got a light in his eyes
and she takes his hand and they walk on by...

I know you're gone
I know I messed up
but these two lovers
they're all dressed up
I pray that things never change

And go from heaven to hell
from fine-dining to Taco Bell
from anniversary champagne
to cheap whiskey alone again

from honeymoon suites
to wandering the lonely streets
another couple smile and meet
on the corner of
Memory and East

They look so happy,
brand new lovers.
a thousand dresses and she chose the right one -
and he's got a light in his eyes
and she takes his hand and they walk on by...
