Wipe clean the memories within my mind;
Take it all and let me begin anew.
Let loose these traps that have my soul confined.
The shade of remembrance treats too unkind
Love's sweet first kiss, so call forth the void to
Wipe clean the memories within my mind.
When sacred vows that faithful day combined
Come not with the giddy rush, then I sue:
Let loose these traps that have my soul confined.
The house in my head was poorly designed.
When my babe's first cry fades, I must argue:
Wipe clean the memories within my mind.
Even my swelling chest asks to rewind
Those just-passed moments when my child's virtue
Let loose these traps that have my soul confined.
And at the end of things, when life's enshrined
Moments ebb the dark shore, gift me my due--
Wipe clean the memories within my mind;
Let loose these traps that have my soul confined.
