Lyrics

It’s cold. It’s grey. It’s out of the way
Why do you stay here they constantly say
There’s nowhere to go. Ain't nothing to do
But this is the place with my memories of you

The people are poor and the jobs are no good
They’d go back in time if only they could
But those days are gone, that time is all past
I’ll stay with the hope that my memories will last

The memories are here, they float in the air
They hang from the trees there’s one over there
No matter the time, no matter the day
The memories are here and that’s why I stay

There was a time we could have taken the train
Right outta here, either way was the same
But fate had her plan, we missed our one chance
And now there are memories every way that I glance

The memories are here, they float in the air
They hang from the trees there’s one over there
No matter the time, no matter the day
The memories are here and that’s why I stay

The buildings are old, they’re all half fallin down
The good days have long since forgotten this town
But that won’t be me, no I won’t forget
Cause I won’t be leaving, or at least not yet

The memories are here, they float in the air
They hang from the trees there’s one over there
No matter the time, no matter the day
The memories are here and that’s why I stay
The memories are here and that’s why I stay
