Memories From The Past Lyrics

Forgive me but tonight
I took your photograph and plant it in the yard

next to the lemon tree
and close to the tomatoes and the beets

trying to understand dear...
trying to understand dear...

would it help to grow the grass
or would just fade away like winter's past

perhaps grow into a tree
and give out memories of you and me

try to understand dear...
try to understand dear...

That there's no one else
in my deep blue sea
and the lights keep going out

so go ahead
and grow into a tree
of memories from the past.
