He was the congregation's vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion's exaltation Then finding refuge is not enough She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go When they decided they would try and make it on their own Oh Memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday How I let it fade away? Where'd you go? (Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh) When July became December Their affection fought the cold But they couldn't quite remember What inspired them to go And it was beautifully depressing Like a street car named Desire They were fighting for their love that had started growing tired Oh Memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday How I let it fade away? Don't fade away When money lost momentum And the bills were piling high Then the smile had finally faded From the apple of their eye They were young and independent And they thought they had it planned Should have known right from the start You can't predict the end Oh Memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday How I let it fade away? Oh Memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday How I let it fade away? Don't fade away
