Shook out your memories
Pennies from a piggy bank
Tucked in between couch cushions
From your first home
Old age has kissed your skin
Basked you in the gleam
Of the unknown
But tucked in your creases
Lie memories
To lead you home
Who you were
Is not unrecoverable
Forever preserved
In our hearts

Shook out your memories
Pennies from a piggy bank
Tucked in between couch cushions
From your first home
Old age has kissed your skin
Basked you in the gleam
Of the unknown
But tucked in your creases
Lie memories
To lead you home
Who you were
Is not unrecoverable
Forever preserved
In our hearts
Because I won't forget you even when you forget me.
