Memory Lane Lyrics
i am on a street, I walk
into the store, I do not talk
i think of you, i think a lot
of what you might say
memory lane
the old man at the store still sings
a funny, ancient tune, chinese
'n' whistles to himself and sees
i am alone again today
he winks, as if to say
"it's okay"
memory lane
memory lane
sometimes when my memory fails
i look into my book of spells
cards we wrote and pictures taken
by someone else
i feel the pain
memory lane
i sleep by the window sill
sounding out and dream for real
of simple times of hands in tangle,
fingers engaged
memory lane
into the store, I do not talk
i think of you, i think a lot
of what you might say
a funny, ancient tune, chinese
'n' whistles to himself and sees
i am alone again today
he winks, as if to say
"it's okay"
memory lane
i look into my book of spells
cards we wrote and pictures taken
by someone else
i feel the pain
sounding out and dream for real
of simple times of hands in tangle,
fingers engaged

genius.
this is one of the best things he's recorded in the past two years. i think the meaning is pretty obvious - it reminds me of the end of summer/beginning of fall, when the air first starts to get real crisp in the morning. he's going through life, with memories that are still attached to him, like shackles on his ankles. this gal really did a number on him.
"i sleep by the window sill sounding out and dream for real of simple times of hands in tangle, fingers engaged" - pure genius.
