A Memory's Lament - Reuben And The Dark

A Memory’s Lament

Reuben and The Dark

(Capo 5th Fret)

I wrote a song for the ones that I remember

A memory’s lament, all the lovers I have met

Well I wrote a song for the the ones that I forget

And take these, dreams from me

I don’t need an easy way now…

They’re just dragging my body around

Well I… buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands…

And you said…

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, and your fingers through my hair…

When I wanted you to stay with me

You come from the forrest I bet

With hair as long as a sunset…

You come from the forrest I bet

With soul as good as a hunter’s guess

And I was, younger than you

Well I saw these wicked ways

Another bill that time will… pay

Well I… buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands…

And you said…

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, And your fingers through my hair…

When I wanted you to stay with me

Who knew you’d be leaving me for…

Buried my brother, I

Buried my lover, I

Buried my head in my hands…

And you said…

All of my burdens are

Too much to bear, And your fingers through my hair…

When I wanted you to stay with me

Who knew you’d be leaving me for Dead… (Ends on Am)
