MEMORY
Nair Lyrics

Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
It's quiet and dark outside. There's no movement or noise on the street.

Has the moon lost his mem'ry?
Is the moon no longer able to recall something important?

She is smiling alone.
She's by herself, happy and content.

In the lamplight
The light from the streetlamp

The withered leaves collect at my feet.
Dried-up leaves have piled up around me.

And the wind begins to moan.
The wind is making a low, mournful sound.

Mem'ry. All alone in the moonlight.
Memories of the past are all she has as she stands in the moonlight.

I can smile at the old days,
She can look back with happiness and smile when she thinks of the past.

I was beautiful then.
She used to be beautiful when she was younger.

I remember
She recalls

The time I knew what happiness was,
The time when she was truly happy.

Let the mem'ry live again.
She wants to relive those happy moments in her imagination.

Ev'ry street lamp
Each streetlight

Seems to beat
Feels like it's pulsing

A fatalistic warning
A sense of doom, warning of something bad to come.

Someone mutters and a
Someone whispers and a

Street lamp gutters and
The streetlamp flickers and

Soon it will be morning.
The night is almost over and the morning is about to arrive.

Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise,
It's now daylight and she's waiting for the sun to come up.

I must think of a new life
She needs to come up with a new direction for her life now.

And I mustn't give in.
She can't give up and has to keep moving forward.

When the dawn comes
At sunrise

Tonight will be a memory too
This current night will also become a memory.

And a new day will begin.
Tomorrow will bring a new day and a new start.

Burnt out ends of
The remnants of burnt-out

Smoky days the
The days that were smoky, hazy or unclear

Stale cold smell of morning
There's a stale and cold odor in the air at dawn.

The street lamp dies
The streetlamp has turned off

Another night is over,
This night has ended.

Another day is dawning.
A new day is beginning.

Touch me. It's so easy to leave me
She asks to be touched and tells how easy it is to abandon her.

All alone with the mem'ry
She's alone with nothing but her memories.

Of my days in the sun.
The happy times of her life when she was full of hope, promise and vigour.

If you touch me you'll
If you touch her you will

Understand what happiness is.
You'll understand what true happiness really means.

Look a new day has begun.
She's excited because a new day has started, bringing new possibilities with it.
