Scattered Memories Lyrics

Through all my life, I have wandered through this town

Picking the nickels and the pennies and the dimes up off the ground

Through all my dreams I imagined I'd meet you

In the middle of paradise with a bracelet on your shoe

And on your head you wore a wedding veil

And outward bound on an ocean we would sail

It came to pass, like the summer turns to fall

It never lasts when you think you have it all

Your drying eyes my dying heart just turned the page

It's no surprise that it makes you feel your age

Through all my dreams I imagined I'd meet you

But outward bound has a double meaning too

And on the road I discovered what I'd lost

The things I owed hardly seemed worth half the cost

And through the years with another glass of wine

I'll milk the tears and then wish that you were mine

Through all my dreams I imagined we would be

Outward bound all alone just you and me

Through all my life, I have wandered through this town

Picking the nickels and the pennies and the dimes up off the ground

Through all my dreams I imagined I'd meet you

In the middle of paradise with a bracelet on your shoe

And on your head you wore a wedding veil

And outward bound on an ocean we would sail
