Our Past Follows Us

It has followed you like it has followed me Wherever we go to our past follows us would you not agree It even lives in us in our memory And will be with us till death whenever that be You may think that you have left your past behind Only to find it does live in your mind It has followed you from the far away town To where you did live when your hair was dark brown Though in reality from you they live far away The people you knew there you see every day The mental images of them in your mind remain And in your flights of fancy you see them again In reality the past to the forever gone But in our mental images it does live on.
