How Long Does It Take A Memory To Drown — текст песни (Jim Ed Brown)

Say it`s still snowing and the lines`re down
If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down
You`ll have to pardon me while I`ll try to drink this down
It seems the warmest thing you left around
No I hadn`t noticed that the fire was dead
I`ve been feelin` cold but I hadn`t thought about that yet
By the way friend what time is it how long does it take a memory to drown
How long does it take for a love to die
How long till my feelings find a place for they can hide
All my friends say that time will bring me round
How long does it take a memory to drown
[ ac.guitar + harmonica ]
By the way do you know if the mail runs today
No I`m just watchin` for some bills that need to pay
No I don`t know just why it is she`s gone Lord he knows I`ve never done her wrong
Yes I know it`s late you hate to leave this way
No thanks a lot girl but I guess I`d better stay
Won`t you try me again some brighter day
Right now I`ve got these memories to drown
How long does it take...
