Memories To Burn - Gene Watson

Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta grow to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget. You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time Why'd you ruin my life? Where you takin' my kid? And they hold each other saying: How did it come to this? You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta grow to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.

Come on Fear of the dark, tears me apart Won't leave me alone and time keeps running out Just one more life, I'm so sick and tired Of singing the blues, I should turn my life around Come on Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to burn Come on They follow me home, disturbing my sleep But I'll find a place, A place where they cannot find me Maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared But too many times I've closed the doors behind me Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to burn Leave it all behind Cross the borderline Face the truth, don't have any time to Have any time to burn Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again Gotta go, cause I know I don't Have any time to burn Tell me why do I feel this way All my life I've been standing on the borderline Too many bridges burned Too many lies I've heard Had a life but I can't go back Can't do that, it will never be the same again And I know I don't Have any time to Have any time to burn Come on

Give me something I can hold With that something I will grow Make me crazy with your arms It's all gone hazy, it's all gone wrong How can you decline such grand designs? And I'm flattered that you thought I make a good reward, but Olympian, framed by God So bring me water to cool off How can you decline such grand designs? And I'm flattered that you thought I make a good reward How can you survive my blatant lies? I'm flattered that you thought So come taste my good reward Formidable, but not afraid Of the next world, just delayed I... I'm wanted to be there with you For I can only be normal with you I... I've given my all for you Now you I... I wanted to be there with you For I can only be normal with you I... I've given my all for you No-oh Now you I...

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going 'Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Drive, drive drive, drive You want to drive all night Follow the yellow lines Don't stop or look behind And you don't want to know where you're going Just want to get lost sometimes together Drive, drive drive, drive Get lost together Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Want to get lost? You don't want to know where you're going Stepping through a hallway of trees Getting lost to nowhere's good to me Wild eyes in the high high beams Staring back at me Into endless night Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me

There was a time Where our years still just feel alive Then the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried, oh why, oh why So they looked far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little children started to cry, oh Screaming, Mama and Papa, oh why, oh why So they told them a lie Just to silence them Say goodnight And the people started to die He's singing, what a shame They've been waiting for the moment when they're finally dead Singing ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame Ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame What a shame What a shame Ooh, what a shame What a shame We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill He's singing, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He cried, what a shame He cried, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He sang, what a shame
