Souvenirs lyrics

Someone wants a piece of you Never let 'em pay What you do not give them Time takes anyway Had I known what love is worth I could have saved the tears Might have come in handy Like souvenirs I didn't see her comin' 'Til my head turned in surprise Thinking I must know her But it was her thin disguise She padded up her innocence And tightly cinched her fears But she saved a little room For souvenirs I still go to pieces But I don't go as often Placeless times in space Where all the edges soften She took me away Where I couldn't send her I knew that she would leave me Something to remember I wanted more than one Until I found the one I wanted Her memories are ghosts now Though I'm still pretty haunted What we gave each other Ain't exactly clear Probably comes under the heading Of souvenirs Pieces, bits, and pieces Add up through the years I've collected a small fortune In souvenirs
