lyrics

Lyrics: Lauren E. Wang (*1988)
Music: Karl Stepan & Fairway

The memories of days are mine to keep,
But dreams melt away in the morning;
I never will reach my time to sleep.

At seventeen when she first made me weep,
I told her when I gave up with deploring,
The memories of days are mine to keep.

A soft pair of wings round my pillowcase creeps.
Though I think I once dreamt of dreaming of soaring,
I never will reach my time to sleep.

A chance encounter at the corner threw me deep
Into long gone nights of drinking and whoring;
The memories of days are mine to keep.

The ambitious always think to leap
From bough to ship to tower without mooring:
We never will reach our time to sleep.

I sit in my armchair next to the cheap
Tinny radio, roused by my own snoring.
The memories of days are mine to keep.
I never will reach my time to sleep.
