Lost in Time

Lost in Time

(Song Lyrics
Inspired by and to the tune of

John Prine’s “Souvenirs”)

My memories are torn and tattered

And the sun no longer shines

All my hopes and dreams have scattered

Through my day that’s lost in time

All that I once had to live for
Nothing’s left that once was mine

All my future expectations

Have just moved on down the line

My today is just a shadow

My yesterdays are faded history

Nothing’s left it seems of tomorrow’s dreams

And I guess you’d say they’re all the same to me

When I wake up in the morning

I don’t want to rise from bed

All my thoughts just run together

In confusion in my head

And when I go to bed a midnight

I just mostly toss and turn

And I lie there awake till day light

As my latest nightmares burn

My today is just a shadow

My yesterdays are faded history

Nothing’s left it seems of tomorrow’s dreams

And I guess you’d say they’re all the same to me
