Your Past Goes With You

You cannot escape it no matter what you do
Wherever you go to your past goes with you
For as long as your gift of memory you retain
Your memories of what was in you does remain
Even the memories you would rather forget
You still do remember much to your regret
The memories are with you of Seasons long gone
And the clock on your life ever keeps ticking on
Though in memory you walk on a far away street
With friends of the past you will never more meet
Life is a journey as some like to say
That does end for everyone on some night or day
But for as long as the gift of memory you retain
Memories of the past until death with you bound to remain..
