Song Lyrics

My world is like a river
It's a dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in
Gathers all my sleep

My days are just an endless stream
Of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of his memory

Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Um

He slipped into the silence
Of my dreams last night
Wandering from room to room
He's turnin' on each light

His laughter spills like water, water
From the river to the sea
I'm swept away from sadness
Clingin' to his memory

Sweet memory
Sweet memory
Oh
