Lost In Old Memories Lyrics - Singles - What's Left Of The Sun

Values measured out by sounds and smells 

Each step rewarded with sights 

astonishing to untrained eyes 

Still undefiled by obligations 

Still a stranger to remorse 

Overwhelmed by the stretch of horizons 

I remember it seemed endless to me 

Still not sure what I invented 

Still not sure what I retrieved 

And when I in solitude suffer 

I drink from the river of sleep 

to forget my surroudings 

and set sail for the realm of dreams 

Where I'll be 

Shaped by surroundings 

and colored by innocence 

So strange to desire something you can't recall 

and to glorify traces on old hazy walls 

It seems to wriggle like a necklace 

that we proudly carry around our necks. 

I keep reminders on my skin 

and memories in frames on walls 

I lean my head against the trunk 

and dream me away from this doubt 

When I in solitude suffer 

I drink from the river of sleep 

to make me forget my surroundings 

and set sail to the realm of dreams 

Not all my memories are true 

just heaps of glass on the floor 

Not all my memories are true 

but they are all I have
