They came in boats They came in cars They travelled half way across the sky Through the stars Left their families and their homes And their loved ones all alone And the memory of their love lingers on The memory of their love lingers on
Across the fields in the half mid-day sun The dust kicking up from the wheels on the black top sun They ride on so close to the ground Live life without making sound And the memory of their love lingers on
And nothing to hear but the hum and the whine of the tires Nothing to see but the mouths playing tricks on the eyes
Reaching home as the band played on Cool breath of breeze under trees in the hot mid-day sun Layed by the river and dreamed Watching life disappear in between And the memory of their love lingers on
Layed by the river and dreamed Watching life disappear in between And the memory of their love lingers on Memory of their love lingers on
Oh, the memory, the memory of love lingers on, lingers on
