We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away
But again the local memory comes around
Turns out happiness again then lets loneliness back in
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
And just then the local memory comes around
It's the hardest working memory in this town
Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes
And each night the local memory comes around
And each night the local memory comes around
Turns out happiness again then lets loneliness back in
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
What a faithful memory never lets me down
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
And each night the local memory comes around
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
She's the hardest working memory in this town
Each day I say tonight I may escape her
