He was the congregation’s vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion’s exaltation, then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go When they decided they would try and make it on their own
Oh memories, where’d you go? You were all I’ve ever known How I miss yesterday and how I let it fade away Where’d you go?
When July became December Their affection fought the cold But they couldn’t quite remember what inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing Like a streetcar named desire They were fighting for their love that had started growing tired
Oh memories, where’d you go? You were all I’ve ever known How I miss yesterday and how I let it fade away Don’t fade away
When the money lost momentum And the bills were piling high Then the smile had finally faded from the apple of their eye They were young and independent And they thought they had it planned Should’ve known right from the start, you can’t predict the end
Oh memories, where’d you go? You were all I’ve ever known How I miss yesterday and how I let it fade away Oh memories, where’d you go? You were all I’ve ever known How I miss yesterday and how I let it fade away Don’t fade away
