Verse 1 In memory of the thoughts I've forgot In memory of the thoughts I've begot In memory of the thoughts I've lost and brought In memory of the thoughts I've lost and fought In memory of the roads I've known In memory of the seeds I've sown In memory of the faces time has worn And every piece of me they've formed Pre-Chorus Every year adds another page Every smile, every scar, every age Some stay clear and some drift away Through every hairline crack that time has left across the pane Chorus In memory of what time has taken In memory of what time has spared In memory of the names forgotten And all the names still carried there In memory of the hearts I've touched And all the hearts that touched me too If memory is all that makes us Tell me what remains when it slips through Verse 2 In memory of the pages untorn In memory of weathered ink, sun-faded and worn In memory of the different chapters I've been Softened through time's unfolding 'til I hardly recognize them again In memory of the love that stayed In memory of the love that changed The moments I would relive again And those I'd never choose to face Chorus In memory of what time has taken In memory of what time has spared In memory of the names forgotten And all the names still carried there In memory of the hearts I've touched And all the hearts that touched me too If memory is all that makes us Tell me what remains when it slips through Bridge In memory of a name once known A voice that used to feel like home I see the outline, not the face I know the feeling, not the place In memory of the life I've led The dreams I've chased, the words I've said They're somewhere near, just out of sight Like stars concealed by morning light Who am I beyond recall? When the pictures leave the wall? When the stories fade away What is left of me to stay? Final Chorus In memory of what time has taken In memory of what time has spared In memory of the names forgotten And all the names still carried there In memory of the joys I've carved In memory of the joys I've known If memory leaves and drifts away I never truly walk alone Outro In memory of the thoughts I've begot In memory of the thoughts I've forgot In memory of the life I've lived and lost And the countless souls woven and folded into my own
