Take me to a time when I was young
When I didn't care very much about anything, about anyone

I've tried to remember but my memories vague
on names of people, places that I've been, before

There's just one name stuck in my head
I've tried to forget but it still remains
I've tried everything but it will not fade
I've put it away but it reappears

Let me slip back to a time before
I've never had to pay this price for anything, for anyone

I've tried to escape but my route's been blocked
I can't seem to see where I am heading for, heading to

There's just one memory in my way
I've tried to forget but it still remains
I've tried everything but it will not fade
I've put it away but it reappears

It haunts me when the telephone rings
expect to hear your voice on the other end

it scares me when I go downtown
too many memories of you still around

So let me hide away where I won't be found
by any of the things that remind me of you, of then
My mind won't take it, the pressure's too great
my body's worn out from too many sleepless nights, endless days

The memory of you is much too strong
I've tried to forget but it lingers on
I've tried everything but it will not fade
I've put it away but it reappears

It haunts me when the telephone rings
expect to hear your voice on the other end
it scares me when I go downtown
too many memories of you still around
