Deacon Blue - Laura From Memory lyrics

Laura you can't write back now And you can't stop my time running out You can't laugh and you can't sing And you can't share the things I think But the wall, the clouds the misty light The pylons reaching to the sky The bridge, the ramp the ferry road Everything I can't let go Your face your smile your words your breath The cheap mementos I've got left The look of fear 'don't leave me now' Don't leave me now I was lured by the pull of the words Abandoned then cut by the broken chords What we do, we do for love Memories are dust and that's never enough Laura give me one last night Before you take that long, dark drive One last time all on our own Just us, a room and words. Alone. And the world, the seas the beach the sound The towns that nearly brought you down The dread of night, the fear of dawn The certainty this life's gone wrong The sleeps, the pills, the tears the rage The years of hope, the missing days Let them all just slip away Slip away now I was lured by the pull of the words Abandoned then cut by the broken chords What we do, we do for love Memories are dust and that's never enough We wait, we hope, we pray For the night to go away I was lured by the pull of the words Abandoned then cut by the broken chords What we do, we do for love Memories are dust and that's never enough
