john prine - souvenirs (live at the other end) lyrics

[intro]
thank you
we’re gonna set another mic up
we’re gonna bring steve goodman out

[verse 1]
all the snow has turned to water
christmas days have come and gone
broken toys and faded colors
are all that’s left to linger on
i hate graveyards and old p+wn shops
for they always bring me tears
can’t forgive the way they rob me
of my childhood souvenirs

[chorus]
memories, they can’t be boughten
they can’t be won at carnivals for free
well, it took me years to get those souvenirs
and i don’t know how they slipped away from me

[verse 2]
broken hearts and dirty windows
make life difficult to see
that’s why last night and this morning
always look the same to me
i hate reading old love letters
for they always bring me tears
i can’t forgive the way they rob me
of my sweetheart’s souvenirs
[chorus]
memories, they can’t be boughten
they can’t be won at carnivals for free
well, it took me years to get those souvenirs
and i don’t know how they slipped away from me
