I Remember Mornings lyrics - Madam Mournington

I remember mornings

I remember stars

I remember sunlight

And moonlight and firelight and sky

I remember all these things, but why?

This is no place for memories

This is no place for tears

These long-forgotten memories

Must become forgotten years

Here no one has a past

Forget your memories fast

They'll haunt us if we let them last

But why do I remember mornings?

In mourning still am I

This is no place for pity

They're mad-this is the cost

Yet every girl reminds me of the child

The child I've lost

I'll look the other way

Endure another day

Embrace the part that I must play

But why do I remember mornings?

In mourning still am I

And so I'll leave them as I found them

My soul has turned to stone

But these cages that surround them

Just as well may be my own

Was I always grey?

Was I always cold?

When did I become so old?

Was I ever kind?

Did I ever laugh?

Did I ever love?

Did I ever live?

But I remember laughter

And joy before she fell

This life that followed after is no life

I live in Hell

God save me from my past

Let darkness follow fast

I've let her go and said my last goodbyes

But I remember mornings

Now I'm in mourning 'til I die
