Far away from home without a toothbrush Or a comb I'm soakin' up away Lookin' like a bum who isn't clean enough To thumb a ride or ride a train I think about the field that only yesterday Was real but then I know the pain Of bein' without you to love but I doubt you Can feel it the same? When you claim that no-one's to blame And walk away with what's his name Walkin' half asleep I have to consentrate To keep myself from fallin' down I know I could erase this sad expression On my face if I were just a clown Wish I had a destination better than A railway station leavin' town I'm feelin' so lonely with you I'm only the fool who is wrong All along to think I belong When he's the one who sang your song Mister Memory That's the name you gave to me If I have to go Then I guess I'll never know Why babe? Why babe? Pickin' up a phone that didn't have a dial Or tone I lost my only dime Tryin' to say a word that I love you You never heard a word that didn't rhyme I guess it's only fate that kinda made me Hesitate when I was out of time There's no use pretending a happier ending While all I can do Without you is no what we knew Before you told me we were through Mister Memory That's the name you gave to me If I have to go Then I guess I'll never know Why babe? Why babe?
