Souvenir

Souvenirs of pioneers
Proof that the West was won
These rotten beams will tumble down
Replaced by the newer ones
Weren't we fine gunfighters in another time?
Celebrated writers in Paris after the war?

History repeats itself
But I don't know what for
I got all these souvenirs
But I can't seem to find you anymore

Souvenir
You were here
Now you're gone and I'm moving on
How does it feel to be the ghost in the pictures

Souvenirs of privateers
Our black flag in the Sun
Was taken down, then passed around
And put in a museum
