CARELESS MEMORIES
Duran Duran


So soon, 
just after you've gone 
my senses sharpen 
But it always takes 
so damned long 
before I feel how much 
my eyes have darkened 

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke 
drifting in our room 
so easy to disturb 
with a thought 
with a whisper... 
with a careless memory 

On the table 
signs of love lie scattered... 
and the walls break 
with a crashing within 
It's not as though-- 
as though you really mattered 
But being close, 
how could I let you go 
without some feeling 
some precious sympathy following 

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke 
drifting in our room 
so easy to disturb 
with a thought 
with a whisper... 
with a careless memory 

I walk out into the sun 
I try to find a new day 
but the whole place 
it just screams in my eyes 
where are you now? 
cuz I don't want to meet you 
I think I'd die-- 
I think I'd laugh at you-- 
I think I'd cry-- 
What am I supposed to do, 
follow you? 

Outside the thoughts 
come flooding back now... 
I just try to forget you... 
So easy to disturb 
with a thought... 
with a whisper... 
with a careless memory...
