memorial windows - chris burroughs lyrics

[verse 1]
watching the soldiers at columbus and broadway
playing for nickels and dimes
i joined them in a song somewhere along the way
they’ve held out a long, long time
but something bit me bad, and i got back on my feet
with thoughts about heading for reno
i remembered my father once talking about fear
i remembered thinking, “what did he know?”

[chorus]
memorial windows
the way the song goes
the old souls can’t choose
memorial windows
ghosts in the shadows
all say you can’t lose

[verse 2]
it all bottomed out in the desert sun
and i found myself working bars
nothing was left for me, a real dead ringer
except the call of some falling stars
and i couldn’t get together with the waitress of my choice
but i found out one or two things
you want to make them listen you’ve got to use your voice
if you want to make your mark, you’ve got to sing
[chorus]
memorial windows
the way the song goes
the old souls can’t choose
memorial windows
ghosts in the shadows
all say you can’t lose

[verse 3]
the sun baked the soldiers while i cooled off in the shade
details at every turn
the stacks got nearer, and the girls got sweeter
at night these cities can burn
you put it down on paper, it might still get lost
like the drawings you made as a kid
you can’t measure the cost of things you never did

[chorus]
memorial windows
the way the song goes
the old souls can’t choose
memorial windows
ghosts in the shadows
all say you can’t lose
