A New Memory of Music

A new memory of music We need a guide in our time Someone to show us the way To keep us from blind alleyways Away from Memory Lane We've got to look to the future But live our lives for today Still, the past can preserve us And take away the pain The beat is fine for the days ahead The melody is unchained It drives us down life's highways A map of Memory Lane We're tuning up for the future And damping down the pain And the past that helped preserve us Let's us play for today Give me the memory of music The melodies that we make All harmony together We all know what's at stake And if I have to sing for my supper Then that's a chance I'll take Give me the memory of music Not music for the heartache The memory of music Sweet music for its own sake We need a guide in our time Someone to help us refrain From wand'ring down blind alleyways Away from Memory Lane Words, music, arrangement, vocals, acoustic and bass guitars, and percussion dB/
