DURAN DURAN LYRICS - Careless Memories

"Careless Memories"



So soon,

Just after you've gone

My senses sharpen

But it always takes

So damned long

Before I feel how much

My eyes have darkened



Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

Drifting in our room

So easy to disturb

With a thought

With a whisper...

With a careless memory



On the table

Signs of love life scattered...

And the walls break

We go crashing within

It's not as though--

As though you really mattered

But being close,

How could I let you go

Without some feeling

Some precious sympathy following



Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke

Drifting in our room

So easy to disturb

With a thought

With a whisper...

With a careless memory



I walk out into the sun

I try to find a new day

But the whole place

It just screams in my eyes

Where are you now?

Cuz I don't want to meet you

I think I'd die--

I think I'd laugh at you--

I think I'd cry--

What am I supposed to do,

Follow you?



Outside the thoughts

Come flooding back now...

I just try to forget you...

So easy to disturb

With a thought...

With a whisper...

With a careless memory...
