"Mister Memory" lyrics

Far away from home without a toothbrush or a comb
I'm soakin' up the rain
Lookin' like a bum who isn't clean enough to thumb
A ride or ride a train
I think about the feelin' only yesterday was real
But then I know the pain
Of bein' without you to love, but I doubt you
Can feel it the same
When you claim that no one's to blame
And walk away with what's his name

Walkin' half-asleep I have to concentrate to keep
Myself from fallin' down
I know I could erase this sad expression on my face
If I were just a clown
Wish I had a destination better than a railroad station
Leavin' town
I'm feelin' so lonely, without you I'm only
The fool who was wrong
All along to think I belonged
When he's was the one who sang your song

Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why, babe? Why, babe?

Thinkin' of the phone that didn't have the dial tone
I lost my only dime
Tryin' to say a word for love, you never really hear a word
That didn't rhyme
I guess it's only fate that kind of made me hesitate
When I was out of time
There's no use pretending a happier ending
While all I can do without you
Is know what we knew
Before you told me we were through

Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
Then I guess I'll never know
Why, babe? Why, babe?

Mister Memory
That's the name you gave to me
If I have to go
