A Certain Kind of Memory
It's a memory, a certain kind of memory
That you cling to 'til you're dead and gone
I try my best to forget, but I just can't shake it
I didn't give you my heart just to break it

Look away my love
Look away from me
After you have had your way
There won't be nothin' left to see

What would my father say
If he know that I ever came around here?
But oh, the wrath of God
Is all that I truly have to fear

Look away my love
Look away from me
After you have had your way
There won't be nothin' left to see

Now the dust will never settle
The wind blows high across the sweeping plains
And I will be a single girl
For my days that do remain

How I curse your mother and your father
And the very day that you were born
For the girl that once lied in your arms
Is the girl that I will forever mourn

Look away my love
Look away from me
After you have had your way
There won't be nothin' left to see
