How Long Does It Take A Memory To Drown Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

Say it's still snowing and the lines're down 

If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down 

You'll have to pardon me while I'll try to drink this down 

It seems the warmest thing you left around 

No I hadn't noticed that the fire was dead 

I've been feelin' cold but I hadn't thought about that yet 

By the way friend what time is it how long does it take a memory to drown 

How long does it take for a love to die 

How long till my feelings find a place for they can hide 

All my friends say that time will bring me round 

How long does it take a memory to drown 

[ ac.guitar + harmonica ] 

By the way do you know if the mail runs today 

No I'm just watchin' for some bills that need to pay 

No I don't know just why it is she's gone Lord he knows I've never done her wrong 

Yes I know it's late you hate to leave this way 

No thanks a lot girl but I guess I'd better stay 

Won't you try me again some brighter day 

Right now I've got these memories to drown 

How long does it take...
