Say it's still snowing and the lines are down If you like, pull yourself up a chair and sit down You'll have to pardon me while I try to drink this down It seems the warmest thing left around No, I hadn't noticed that the fire was dead I've been feeling cold, but I hadn't thought about that yet By the way, friend, what time is it? How long does it take a memory to drown? How long does it take for a love to die? How long till my feelings find a place where they can hide? All my friends say that time will bring me round How long does it take a memory to drown? By the way, do you know if the mail's run today? No, I'm just watching for some bills I need to pay No, I don't know just why it is she's gone Lord knows I've never done her wrong Yes, I know it's late, you hate to leave this way No, thanks a lot, girl, but I guess I'd better stay Won't you try me again some brighter day? Right now I've got these memories to drown How long does it take for a love to die? How long till my feelings find a place where they can hide? All my friends say that time will bring me round How long does it take a memory to drown? How long does it take a memory to drown?
