Duran Duran - Careless Memories

So soon,
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

On the table
Signs of love life scattered...
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though--
As though you really mattered
But being close,
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
Cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
Follow you?

Outside the thoughts
Come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
With a thought...
With a whisper...
With a careless memory...
So soon,
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

On the table
Signs of love life scattered...
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though--
As though you really mattered
But being close,
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place

Where are you now?
Cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--

Outside the thoughts
Come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
With a thought...
With a whisper...
