Souvineers

Artist: John Prine

Title: Souvenirs

All the snow has turned to water

Christmas day has come and gone

Broken toys and faded colors

Are all that's left to linger on

I hate graveyards and old pawnshops

For they always bring me tears

Can't forgive the way they rob me

Of my childhoood souvenirs

(Chorus:)

Memories, they can't be boughten

They can't be won at carnivals for free

It took me years, to get those souvenirs

And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Broken hearts and dirty windows

Make life difficult to see

That's why last night and this morning

Always look the same to me

I hate reading old love letters

For they always bring me tears

Can't forgive the way they rob me

Of my sweetheart souvenirs

(repeat chorus)
