I'VE TAKEN
DOWN ALL OF
HER PICTURES
I'VE CLEANED
OUT ALL OF
HER DRAWERS
AND I'VE PAINTED
OVER THE SCRATCHES
FROM ALL
OF OUR LITTLE WARS
AND I'VE PUT AWAY
EVERY GIFT
THAT SHE
EVER GAVE TO ME
NOW EVERYTHING
IS IN ITS PLACE
EXCEPT FOR HER MEMORY
AND WHERE DO I PUT
HER MEMORY
WHEN IT'S ALWAYS IN
IN MY MIND
I CAN'T HIDE IT IN
THE CLOSET
AND LORD
I CAN'T THROW IT
AWAY
AND WHERE DO I PUT
HER MEMORY
WHEN IT'S ALWAYS IN
IN MY MIND
I CAN'T CHASE IT
ERASE IT
I JUST HAVE TO FACE IT
IT'S GONNA BE THERE
A LONG LONG TIME
I GOT RID OF HER PILLOW
WHERE SHE
USED TO LAY HER HEAD
AND I'VE PICKED UP
HER HAIRPINS
AND CURLERS
THAT SHE DROPPED
ON HER SIDE
OF THE BED
I'VE LOCKED AWAY
EACH SOUVENIR
AND THROWN AWAY
THE KEY
NOW EVERYTHING
IS IN ITS PLACE
EXCEPT FOR HER MEMORY
AND WHERE DO I PUT
HER MEMORY
WHEN IT'S ALWAYS IN
IN MY MIND
I CAN'T CHASE IT
ERASE IT
I JUST HAVE TO FACE IT
IT'S GONNA BE THERE
A LONG LONG TIME
IT'S GONNA BE THERE
A LONG LONG TIME
