Souvenirs

All the snow has turned to water

Christmas days have come and gone

Broken toys and faded colors

All that left to linger on

I hate graveyards and old pawn shops

For they all bring me tears

I can't forget the way they rob me

Of my childhood souvenirs

Memories, they can't be boughten

Can't be won at carnivals for free

When it took me years to get these souvenirs

And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Broken hearts and dirty windows

Make life difficult to see

That's why last night and this morning

Always look the same to me

I hate reading old love letters

For they always bring me tears

Can't forget the way they rob me, yeah

Of my childhood souvenirs

Memories, they can't be boughten

Can't be won at carnivals for free

When it took me years to get these souvenirs

And I don't know how they slipped away from me
