Half Forgotten Memories

The Damned

Half-forgotten memories of a childhood day
Nothing seemed to matter much
Except which games to play
Did I disregard the rule
That says when you grow up
You shouldn't play the fool

Half-forgotten memories of a show somewhere
Devil cursed brilliance
And we just didn't care
And I never can explain
How we did all that
I'll never be the same

And time goes on just the same
It doesn't really mind
It doesn't know your name

Half-forgotten memories of an absent friend
Always was so full of life
It doesn't make much sense
Although he drove us 'round the bend
The good outweighed the bad
I'm glad you were my friend

Half-forgotten memories of a certain kind
Life was full of happiness
When you were really mine
And I never can recall
What I did or said
It had to end, that's all

And time goes on just the same
It doesn't really mind
It doesn't know your name
It goes on just the same
Just the same
