Holcombe Waller Bored Of Memory
Oh my love*
Oh my one and only light of hope that turns to me
I never dreamed you would die so far away
All the history, all the wars
The ever distant dangers frightening us
All return to us, the bold forgetful senders
And that's all, and that's all I need
Bored of memory the man said
Let me trade the future for a war nobody understands
And that's all I need
Bored of memory the book said
Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
If I'm your lover, if I'm your friend
If I'm the protest laying down for you
All you have to do is lay yourself beside me
If I'm the Roman, if I'm the fighter
If I'm the puppet dangling here for you
All you have to do is put your hand inside me
And that's all, and that's all I need
Bored of memory the man said
Let me trade the future for a war nobody understands
And that's all I need
Bored of memory the book said
Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
And that's all I need
Bored of memory the queen
Ordered up the moat bridge, never been kissed
Never been seen
And that's all I need
Bored of memory the book said
Leave me to my T.V., I am history, never been read
You can leave me to my T.V., I am history
Never been read
You can leave me to my T.V
I am history
Never been read
