Paroles:
Memory Garden The Search

[Words & Music: S. Johansson] A broken picture, a broken mind The colored life turns black and white The remaining pieces won't tell you why When questions

on the pier tonight, my soul departs from me Striding like Thalia's ghost south on the murky sea And into midnight's tapestry she fades, ragged and wild Searching

Keith Waldrop first published in 1997 by homonimous title Reedited in Transcendental Studies: A Trilogy on 2009] Angels go - we merely stray, image of a wandering deity, searching

I haven't got you Left in my paradise gone wrong And one more sunset to face on my own I drawn my sorrows in the garden of despair Trying to wash away the memories

to become men and men grow to become fools. he saw hope, beauty, war, strength, weakness, chaos, stillness he watched until he could recite each scene from memory

the stars And thought to himself Memory is a stranger History is for fools And he cleaned his hands In a pool of holy writing Turned his back on the garden

home without notice no landmark to be seen the ground died beneath us the landscape was unclean as we search for oblivion we forget to remember the faint memory

, so why don't you quit Get over it, get over it Love Will Keep Us Alive I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching

he sings of the sweet memories of his beloved Tosca and his dashed dreams. ENGLISH TRANSLATION How the stars seemed to shimmer, the sweet scents of the garden
