It's the burden of a memory
carried on through time
always past, but ever present
face forward, but unwind
It's the burden of a memory
that drives the splinter deeper
always there, but never here
held tight, but not a keeper
It's the burden of a memory
unbidden, rising nightly
always yearning, never learning
still dreaming, but not lightly
It's the burden of a memory
I must try to forget
always...
