Slow Moving Memory

I call her name I hear her voice
But I know she’s somewhere else
Shadows fall around my heart
As I whisper to myself
What kind of fool can’t see
That she’s really gone
She let go
But I’m still holdin' on
Don’t know if I can break away
From a slow moving memory
Still livin' in yesterday
With a slow moving memory
Feels like I move in circles
Everywhere I go
Dragging this ball and chain
That’s wrapped around my soul
There’s a life after her
Or so I’m told
But that’s a life
That I may never know
I’ve tried to move on
I try to be strong
I pray someday she’ll be long, long gone
From a slow moving memory
