Memories Lyrics

I remember you sitting by yourself, lost in your thoughts
I remember you giving that occasional smile
Memories conjuring mixed emotions
I remember you singing opera as a joke
I remember you drawing cartoons on a newspaper
Memories conjuring mixed emotions

But it's all so superficial since I never really knew you

I was undoubtedly linked to you
But I always felt so disconnected
The good moments were so few
And you were too far to ever be re-directed
I remember you coming home, some kind of mist in your eyes
I remember you lost in your artificial paradise

But it's all so superficial since I never really knew you
Just floating on the surface

I was undoubtedly linked to you
But I always felt so disconnected
The good moments were so few
And you were too far to ever be re-directed
I wonder if there was any guilt, for depriving us
Of moments to cherish, of memories to hold on to
For pushing us away,
Now I sometimes wonder how it could have been
Now I look back and understand
The only thing remaining, a father and a son
And forgiveness, forgiveness
