Say it's still snowing and the lines're down   If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down   You'll have to pardon me while I'll try to drink this down   It seems the warmest thing you left around   No I hadn't noticed that the fire was dead   I've been feelin' cold but I hadn't thought about that yet   By the way friend what time is it how long does it take a memory to drown   How long does it take for a love to die   How long till my feelings find a place for they can hide   All my friends say that time will bring me round   How long does it take a memory to drown   [ ac.guitar + harmonica ]   By the way do you know if the mail runs today   No I'm just watchin' for some bills that need to pay   No I don't know just why it is she's gone Lord he knows I've never done her wrong   Yes I know it's late you hate to leave this way   No thanks a lot girl but I guess I'd better stay   Won't you try me again some brighter day   Right now I've got these memories to drown   How long does it take...
