Where have the days gone
I’m young, but looking back
I’m caused to wonder
Just where memory has fled

Some random flashes
All unretainable
Passing in and through
Before I can really see

Looking back there now
I wonder where they’ve gone
All my memories
Gone away, past my reach

It’s been a long while
Since I knew what there was
About who I am
That came out of my past

Who was I back then?
What was it that I thought?
How can I know me
If my past is missing?

I know what I do
But how can I know why
If my past is gone
Will I be a stranger

Even to myself
Because the past is lost
And if the then is lost
Will I lose today?
