Cherry Blossoms

I saw you underneath the cherry blossoms

I forgot to call your name

The photographs in the frames

They have you looking away

I wish I could remember what I've forgotten

And I've forgotten so many things

Keys and dates and wedding rings

But I could never forget your face

Oh, the years

They slip on past

They don't even ask

They push

And they pull

They take me away

To some other place

Where I was good for nothing

You gave me something

I got lost

But I'll catch up to you

If it takes me all my life

I saw you underneath the cherry blossoms

I forgot to call your name

The photographs in the frames

They have you looking away

I wish I could remember what I've forgotten

And I've forgotten so many things

Keys and dates and wedding rings

But I could never forget your face

Oh, my mind

Memories fade and dreams unwind

I don't

I don't know

When one comes and

The other goes

But I was good for nothing

You gave me something

I got lost

But I'll catch up to you

If it takes me all my life

I saw you underneath the cherry blossoms

I forgot to call your name

The photographs in the frames

They have you looking away

I wish I could remember what I've forgotten

And I've forgotten so many things

Keys and dates and wedding rings

But I could never forget your face
