Livin' On A Memory Lyrics - Rockinghorse - Alannah Myles

The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel 

Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell 

It's a life of crime on a bed of stone 

When the devil calls you're better off alone, ah 

And now I'm hiding from the light 

Running from my destiny 

Haunted by a flame 

Lying low, livin' on a memory 

The bugs still bite and the breezes blow 

Between your dreams right through your clothes 

Days roll by like cars on a train 

And the August sky still looks like rain, ah 

And now I'm hiding from the light 

Running from my destiny 

Haunted by a flame 

Lying low, livin' on a memory 

Haunted by a dream 

Can't escape this reverie 

Trying to break away 

Lying low, livin' on a memory 

I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind 

I'll be watchin', still payin' for my sins 

I'm drifting down, river so slow 

The lights of town are beginning to glow 

And I'm hiding from the light 

Running from my destiny 

Haunted by a flame 

Lying low, livin' on a memory 

Haunted by a dream 

Can't escape from this reverie 

Trying to break away 

Lying low, livin' on a memory 

[Incomprehensible] 

[Incomprehensible] 

Let me break away 

Set me free 

[Incomprehensible] with me, yeah
