Daniel Levitin - Just a Memory Lyrics

I got the news today you're no longer here
We thought that there'd be time but it's not clear It's not clear. It's not clear
I got the news today that you were gone
I don't know how these things could go so wrong Go so wrong, so wrong
Oh the salad days are in the past
We never knew they wouldn't last
What's left inside is just a memory
Who we were then is not who we would be
The hole inside my head is filled with moss The birds that lived inside it now are lost Now are lost, oh they're lost
The leaves are turning yellow from the sun The dead and dying seem to need no one What's left inside is just a memory
What we were then is not what we came to be
