Lyrics A Memory's Lament - Reuben And The Dark

A Memory's Lament

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)
