(Marshall Crenshaw)



It's almost dawn

and everything's wrong

I'm wide awake and angry all night long

Chained to my rockin' chair

Sometimes it's hard to bear, so hard to bear

the memory of the laughter that we used to share

I get lost on the streets

That we used to walk

Where we used to find each other in the dark

Can't find the places where we used to go

Cause they're nothing like they were before,

like they were before

They're not echoing with laughter anymore

Once in awhile

I hear a voice in my head

I start thinking about some random thing that you said

How I hate to realize

That things are how they have to be,

how they have to be

I still can't believe what happened to you and me

You were a friend like no other

I'm afraid that I'm gonna find

That the memory of your laughter

Will never leave my mind

It's almost dawn

And everything's wrong

As one more restless night drags on and on

Chained to my rockin' chair

'Till I don't know what to do,

don't know what to do

With the memory of your laughter

And the ones we knew

It will never leave my mind

...everything's wrong

I'm wide awake and angry all night long

Chained to my rockin' chair

As lonely as I can be, as I can be

With the memory of your laugher for company

Lonely as I can be

Memories for company

ooooh

ooooh

The memory of the laughter that we used to share
