Careless Memories (As the Lights Go Down) Songtext
von Duran Duran

So soon
Just after you′re gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in a room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory


On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
But being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following?

Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in a room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory

Oh, I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes


Where are you now?
′Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I′d laugh at you
I know I′d cry
What am I supposed to do?
Follow you?

Outside, the thoughts come flooding back now
I just try to forget you

So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory

Look out, look out, look out, look out
