[Verse 1]
They came in boats, they came in cars
They travelled half way across the sky, through the stars
Left their families and their homes
And their loved ones all alone
And the memory of their love lingers on
The memory of their love lingers on

[Verse 2]
Across the fields in the half mid-day sun
The dust kicking up from the wheels on the black top sun
They ride on so close to the ground
Live life without making sound
And the memory of their love lingers on

[Bridge]
And nothing to hear but the hum and the whine of the tires
Nothing to see but the mouths playing tricks on the eyes

[Verse 3]
Reaching home as the band played on
Cool breath of breeze under trees in the hot mid-day sun
Layed by the river and dreamed
Watching life disappear in between
And the memory of their love lingers on
[Verse 4]
Layed by the river and dreamed
Watching life disappear in between
And the memory of their love lingers on
Memory of their love lingers on
Oh, the memory, the memory of love lingers on, lingers on
