Memory Collector

The memory collector The creak feeling Takes you in and send you reeling It's your being in the simplest song It's the melody so strong It won't let you forgot What it is that you've done Between the brain and the blackboard Every lesson Right or wrong you know that you're still guessing And that shine hasn't been replaced It'll hide in lines there on your face They don't let you forget Where it was that you came from It the cool air, late afternoon Sitting alone there on the floor of my room The fireplace crackles, down the hall "Dinner's ready!", I hear Mother call I remember your childhood hair Flowing wild at the county fair And how you'd ride on the Himalaya
