MIRAMICHI MEMORY
(music and lyrics by Dan O’Brien © Sept 29, 2016)
1)
Time goes by so quickly you wonder what happened
To all of the dreams and the people you’ve met,
But sometimes a memory can come back to haunt you
Especially those memories too hard to forget.
2)
Once a young man just travellin’ alone around the country
To see what I could before I became old,
I spent time on the East Coast, and down in New Brunswick
Where I met a young maiden who captured my soul.
Refrain
Sometimes late at night I wonder where she is
And wonder if she ever thinks about me,
For I’ll always remember that night one September
We made love on the banks of the Miramichi.
3)
She was just passing thru on her way to big cities
To find the excitement she’d heard all about,
I asked her to stay then, but she shook her head sadly
And the pain in her eyes brought a lump to my throat.
4)
I wonder how different our lives might have turned out
Had we stayed together since that night long ago.
I guess only the Good Lord could answer that question
And why all these years later I still miss her so.
Refrain
Sometimes late at night I wonder where she is
And wonder if she ever thinks about me,
For I’ll always remember that night one September
We made love on the banks of the Miramichi.
Yes I’ll always remember that night one September
We made love on the banks of the Miramichi.
