Her words are echoing as I descend the stairs,
"Mind your head dear," she said "and the dust down there"
But I'll bend my back in a basement,
'Cause there's no use in the useless.
Does it make you wonder?
Or do you hold it closer?
Or do you leave it all behind?
Stow away, throw away
'Cause memories will remind
Well here's a portarait, wrapped in a newsprint
It's like a building, boarded, tired and derelect
Out of sight, out of mind, these things we will find
make me pause, give me shivers
A picture in a locket, forget me, not forgotten
And everything is quiet
Stow away, throw away,
'Cause memeories will remind
Stow away, throw away, blow away
On the wind they will scatter
Will we be remembered, by all the things we treasured?
A memory's a dream in the eyes of a stranger
In her garden she will tell me how she forgets
Her eyes are smiling, she sits and recollects
Then in a moments silence
a photograph in her hand reminds her
And there's ether in her eyes
Stow away, throw away,
'Cause memeories will remind
Stow away, throw away, blow away
On the wind they'll scatter
And everything is quiet
And everything is quiet.
