This acoustic version of our latest release sees the song stripped back to its bare bones in a return to the way it sounded upon conception. Recorded as one live take, it's intimate like a serenade, full of vulnerability and imperfections. We hope it pleases your ears and warms your soul!
lyrics
[Verse 1]
You saw a picture,
You said how’d you know her?
I said, I met her in Geneva,
Or was it Genoa.
Genevieve was her name,
Or was it Sarah,
Could have been Clara,
Don’t really remember
[Chorus]
It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same,
Because they came before you,
And in the warm light of your love,
My memory’s true,
[Verse 2]
The first was a redhead,
Or was she a brunette,
Maybe she dyed it,
It could have been shaved,
One of them acted,
Another played trumpet,
I have to admit,
Those memories have faded,
In the warm light of your love,
‘Cause I’m drawn to the flame,
[Chorus]
It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same,
Because they came before you,
And in the warm light of your love,
My memory’s true,
[Bridge]
My memory’s true,
My memory’s true
My memory’s true.
[Verse 3]
I was so sentimental,
Prone to nostalgia,
Kept old love letters,
But it’s years since I read ‘em
[Chorus]
It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same,
Because they came before you,
And in the warm light of your love,
Nothing else can shine through,
It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same,
Because they came before you,
And in the warm light of your love,
My memory’s true,
My memory’s true,
My memory’s true.
