And let your memory drift and do nothing at all

All the love that you missed

All the people that you can't recall

Well I don't want to drift forever In the shadow of your leaving me So I light another cigarette And try to remember to forget It's so easy to slip It's so easy to fall And let your memory drift and do nothing at all All the love that you missed All the people that you can't recall Do they really exist at all? |
