Wanted to try and do the SSG every week but time, as time often does, escaped me. I did this weeks though and I apologise in advance for the tone of this piece. I should really have wrote something more light-hearted possibly involving reindeers and beared men in red suits. Ah, well.
Anyway here it is.
Living In A Memory
[V1]
Looking back on a day in my past
Makes me wish that this moment would last
All those fears mean nothing now
Show me what I was somehow
[V2]
All those friends gone without trace
Give me strength to make them a place
In my heart - alone and cold
Give me something I can hold
[Chorus]
Passion's gone but the future's clear
Living down my yesteryears
What is it I'm meant to be?
Living in a memory
[V3]
Does my god know I'm off track?
Can he help me to find my way back?
Am I part of his bigger plan?
Or is he going to wash his hands
[V4]
I can't remember quite who you are
But why d'you tell me to reach for a star?
There's nothing to be found up there
Am I suprised that no-one even cares
[Repeat Chorus]
Living in a memory
A memory...
A memory...
All comments and critiques appreciated,

Why Do Other Peoples Shipbuilding When you Could Go Diving For Pearls Of Your Own?
hi,
i enjoyed reading this, its all great apart from what i think is an inconsistency in the lyrics:
'Living down' means hiding from view, pretending it didnt happen
however 'wishing that this moment would last ' refering to 'a day in my past' is 'Living in a memory' not 'living down'.
it makes much more sense to me, unless i've lost the plot entirely, as 'Living in my yesteryears'

I thought the song was really good and I can relate to Rob's comments. Maybe it should have read
Makes me wish that this moment wouldn't last
and then everything makes sense.
I enjoyed the song since anyone with a little age has many memories they wish they could forget and many memories they like to recreate.
The songs got class.........
