Livin' on a Memory - Alannah Myles

The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel

Where dead eyes shine there’s a story to tell

It’s a life of crime on a bed of stone

When the devil calls you’re better off alone

Chorus:

And now I’m hiding from the light, running from my destiny

Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin' on a memory

The bugs still bite and the breezes blow

Between your dreams right through your clothes

The days roll by like cars on a train

And the August sky still looks like rain

chorus

Haunted by a dream, I can’t escape this reverie

Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory

I’ll be walking behind you, I’m a face on the wind

I’ll be watchin', still payin' for my sins

I’m drifting down the river so slow

As the lights of town are beginning to glow

chorus

Haunted by a dream, I can’t escape from this reverie

Trying to break away, lying low, livin' on a memory…
