From the recording Before, During, After
Lyrics
My memory washes over me
The current strong and deep
Reflections of a life gone by
Awash with joy and grief
How does the mind recover
Or reconstruct the past
Sometimes I think the memory's meant to last
The shadow of the time gone by
I see it flash before my eyes
Her voice, a laugh, a misplaced glance
The evanescent sighs
How does the heart discover
These windows to the past
At times I feel the memory will recast
Thinking back
Looking back
Falling back
Reaching back
Walking back
Reaching back
Falling back
Looking back
Thinking back
A vision of that life gone by
I see it burst into my day
The depth of conversations
The authenticity of play
How does your life distinguish
Between the present and the past
Each memory seems more vivid than the last
