Some Memories Are Better Left Alone

Some Memories Are Better Left Alone A solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song He said some memories are better left alone Have you ever seen a freight train rolling down the track Eighty wheels on a thread of steel never looking back Even when I was young it still chilled me to the bone Yes some memories are better left alone Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time When all we had between us was a dream and one thin dime And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone Yes, some memories are better left alone Well I feel just like that whippoorwill singing in the night Trying once again to sleep I turn out the light Lying in the darkness I am waiting for the dawn Yes some memories are better left alone I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn Lord, some memories are better left alone
