She's Become A Memory

lyrics

She's Become A Memory

She's become a memory
she's become a memory
like a Lusitania or a city by the sea
she's become a memory

tossing and turning in the heat of the night
hoping one day it will be alright

I know that it's true
but why do I keep
calling out for you?

set the controls
turn the machine
radio waves in the air
shortwave

She's become a memory
she's become a memory
her ghost, it washes over like waves into the sea
she's become a memory

working my fingers to the bone
I think I might be better off alone
you're the only girl I wanted
you're the only girl I wanted
all I wanted was you

so where do we go?
what do we say ?
where do we go from here?

She's become a memory
she's become a memory

oh wave upon wave,
it comes
crashing down on me...

a cry in the wind
that's how it begins
but where do we go from here?

She's become a memory
she's become a memory
from the Afghan coast to the Asiatic sea
she's become a memory

relax and sit back in your easy chair
don't worry baby, we ain't going nowhere
is there anybody out there
to hear me call, oh yeah....

so set the controls
turn out the lights
radio waves in the air
shortwave.
