Lyrics Few Old Memories - Tim O'Brien

Few Old Memories

Just a few old memories slipped in through my door
Though I thought I had closed it so tightly before
I can’t understand it, why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keepsakes way back on the shelf
Though they don’t mean nothin', why I’m surprised they’re left
Just a few old love letters with their edges all brown
And an old faded picture I keep turned upside down
Just a few old memories goin' way back in time
Well I can hardly remember, I don’t know why I’m crying
No I can’t understand it, well I’m surprised at myself
First thing tomorrow morning I’ll clean off that shelf
Just a few old keepsakes way back on the shelf
No they don’t mean nothin', well I’m surprised that they’re left
Just a few old love letters with their edges all brown
And an old faded picture I keep turned upside down
