Recorded in the fall of 2000 in Salisbury, Maryland...

lyrics

I am thinking of a freight train, I am wishing on an airplane
Yeah anything to get me out of here
Fly me away, far away from yesterday, take me away
far away from the memory of you

And this ol' town it don't seem like it used to
I look around, all I can see is you
All our old friends they've up and moved away
I see your smile reflected everyday, so while i'm here i'm consumed
by the memory of you

And there's a road out far beyond the highway
b'neath the stars one sweet short summer night
We held each other, tied in the arms of moonlight
That mean old sun, had to come, take you away
and all that's left is the scar and the memory of you

There's and old house on Hazel avenue
where we once lived and played and prayed together
We did our best but nothing lasts forever
Well looking back, I know that it was all that we could do
A haunted man, oh yes I am by the memory of you....

I wish her well wherever she might be
With another lover or running wild and free
See I can't trace the days that come between us
My mind drifts, like a ship upon a silent sea
Taking me back to yesteryear and the memory of me
taking me back to yesteryear and the memory of me...
