He was the congregations’ vagrant with an unrequited love
When your passions exaltation then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
And they decided they would try and make it on their own


CHORUS:
Oh memories where’d you go
You were all I’ve ever known
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go-oh-oh
(oh-oh madness)



When July became December their affection fought the cold
But they couldn’t quite remember what inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing, like a streetcar named desire
They were fighting for their love and started growing tired



CHORUS:
Oh memories where’d you go
You were all I’ve ever known
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go-oh-oh
(oh-oh madness)
Don’t fade away



Finally lost momentum and the bills were piling high
And the smile finally faded from the apple of their eye
And they were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should of known right from the start you can’t predict the end



CHORUS:(x2)
Oh memories where’d you go
You were all I’ve ever known
How I miss yesterday
And I let it fade away
Where’d you go-oh-oh
(oh-oh madness)


Don’t Fade away
Oh.
