Kim Carnes – River Of Memories lyrics

Ah everybody trying to use a piece of the heart
But we strain the thread and it tears apart
So many people trying and they just can't stop
Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock

And the trying to change the cycle going round and round
But the ink's run dry and the book ain't bound
You say, give me some direction 'cause I lost my way
But they don't make maps for the world we made

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Now I'm running circles just to catch a view
But it seemed like love that's the way with you
So many people trying, they just can't see
That a captured heart doesn't want to be free

Maybe we can find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes

Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by

Living on memories
Living on memories
