Memories - Robert Wyatt

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
