Remember Songtext
von Stevie Mac

Do you remember that one good time?
Brings a light into your eyes
Hands around the candle
Don′t let the flame go out
Treasured times are holy relics
They get beneath your skin
You turn to them when life gets hard
To get out the mess you're in

′Cause we're all hungry for the bygone days gone by
We're all hungry but can only breath a sigh


If your life′s work is a lesson
Then your metaphors are strong
But I′ve never lived in New York
So I cannot write that song
But we hope there's a city out there
That can take away the pain
Of the same-old same-old
That faces us anew each day

′Cause we're all hungry
For the echos of the past
We′re all hungry
For the hours that didn't last

It′ll all fade into nothing
Even though we do protest
Like Canute against the wavefront
Assuming we know best
We drew up a social contract
A promissory note
That tomorrow will be greater than today
That I can't believe we wrote

'Cause we′re all hungry
For all the times that don′t exist
We're all hungry
For reasons not to cut our wrists
