Shoebox Lyrics

Got a shoebox full of memories

Good and bad, mostly in between

Got a cupboard full of broken slate

Each in turn that I've wiped clean

Got a life time of bad timing

I should have left it to the wind

Got a shoebox full of memories

Good and bad, mostly in between



Got a long way to go...you know

Got to smile when you're down,

Get up when you're low turn your

eyes to the sun and let it all go

Turn your eyes to some light

And the darkness will go.



Got lots of time on my hands got

nothing to do but try and understand

Got lots of feelings to plan got to put

them into boxes 'cause they get out

of hand the telephone is off the hook

Gonna put things in proportion, gonna

read a good book got to sit down and

clear my mind put my life off pause

'cause I can't rewind



Every night I lie awake 'cause I'm

running out of potions that will put

me to sleep every night I lie awake

And I'm numbing my emotions

'Cause they are to hard to keep

But I know it won't take before

I forget about these feelings and I

move along I know it won't take long

Before I put you in my shoebox and I carry on
