River Of Memories Lyrics - Kim Carnes

Ah, everybody trying to use a piece of the heart 

But we strain the thread and it tears apart 

So many people trying and they just can't stop 

Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock 

And the trying to change, the cycle going round and round 

But the ink's run dry and the book ain't bound 

You say, give me some direction 'cause I lost my way 

But they don't make maps for the world we made 

Maybe we would find love along the ledge 

Where emotion still so far pretense 

Remember how it was when it so easily came 

Help me find the feeling again 

Living on memories give it one more try 

'Cause you never know until you show 

What's there behind those eyes 

Living on memories, living like enemies 

Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by 

Now I'm running circles just to catch a view 

But it seemed like love that's the way with you 

So many people trying, they just can't see 

That a captured heart doesn't want to be free 

Maybe we can find love along the ledge 

Where emotion still so far pretense 

Remember how it was when it so easily came 

Help me find the feeling again 

Living on memories give it one more try 

'Cause you never know until you show 

What's there behind those eyes 

Living on memories, living like enemies 

Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by 

Maybe we would find love along the ledge 

Where emotion still so far pretense 

Remember how it was when it so easily came 

Help me find the feeling again 

Living on memories give it one more try 

'Cause you never know until you show 

What's there behind those eyes 

Living on memories, living like enemies 

Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by 

Living on memories give it one more try 

'Cause you never know until you show 

What's there behind those eyes 

Living on memories, living like enemies 

Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by 

Living on memories 

Living on memories
