Never A Mere Memory

Wheels are turning, I remember when you were mine. Now just to reach you, baby, I'd stand in line. But there's another world we're living in. And there's another heart that's fading in the light. I don't want your picture, I want you here with me. I don't want you're memory in my head, I want you here with me. I spent the summer just laying out in the sun. Time seems to move so slow when you're taking it as it comes. Maybe we were just too young. Your body was tanned and my hair was long, you showed me your smile and my cares were gone. Falling in love filled my soul with fright; you said, "Come on, baby, it'll be alright." I must have been a fool to the bitter end. Now I hold on to hope to have you back again. I'd bargain and I'd fight. Well, I saw you in a restaurant the other day, and instead of walking towards you, I ran away. And I'll keep on waiting for you until you come around.
