|
Oil tankers in the National Guard |
|
I came to meet you |
|
My car died in your yard |
|
Why turn the key? |
|
There's so much here to see |
|
These are my memories |
|
Of precious places, precious things |
|
That were meaningless |
|
Before we'd seen them together |
|
Old hinges squeaking in the rain |
|
That hotel by the highway |
|
Where we stayed |
|
There's something every hour |
|
Who needs the Eiffel Tower |
|
When we've got memories? |
|
Of precious places, precious things |
|
That were meaningless |
|
Before we'd seen them together |
|
The pen, the car, the paint, the pier |
|
The moon and star, the message clear |
|
Liberty raised her hand to us |
|
As if to say, "It's okay, live today, live today!' |
|
I said, ''Don't leave me, don't break the tie'' |
|
Then I left you and the time went rolling by |
|
And here's what I can't stand |
|
I know that every landmark triggers memories |
|
Of stupid places and silly things |
|
That were meaningless |
|
Before we'd seen them together |
|
We'd seen them together |
|
We'd seen them together |
|
We'd seen them together |
