Talon Cherry - Sweet Memory Lyrics

I have Told
Every story known to man that's to be told
Every lie that now demands its weight in gold
I am a shell that walks the sand at night
As the memories unfold
In a light that doesn't warm me from the cold

I feel old
Every word that left my tongue has left it sore
I lived a thousand lives in thirty years or more
But as I walk this night in a pale moonlight
With so many more to go
I lack the words I need to heal my soul

And you don't talk to me
So Just walk with me
Sweet Memory

I can see
In the darkness that has fallen over me
Every step from then to now that crossed my feet
No the footprints they don't last as long
When you walk along the shore
But I know it all was there before.

Within me
Is heart that rests too heavy to hear beat
And a thought that sings to softly to hear speak
How am I to be the man you see
And somehow do adore
Without the strength to believe it anymore

And you don't talk to me
Hang on to me
Sweet Memory

I sailed the ocean on the ship you wrecked and moved on
Left a light on every shore I left behind
Though I never planned on going back
To where I used to be
I always hoped some day you'd get to see

This is me
I walk this world with my heart held wide open!
And I'm twice the man that half of me should be!
In the wake of all that loneliness
And hell out on the sea
I became the man I want to be

My Memory
Like the rolling tide on footprints in the sand
And the grains that fell from every closing hand
With each breaking wave this ship sales on
The horizons all I need
And I know somewhere your thoughts still speak of me

But you don't talk to me
Just walk with me
Sweet memory.
