[Hook] [Verse 1] Back in the city where I once used to live Said I'd never come back, no matter what you give Now I'm walking down these well known streets Counting the bakeries and coffee shop treats [Verse 2] Used to rent movies in a small shop open late They sold chips, tobacco, and music first-rate But now it's open doors for greedy ravens Everything's a pile of dirt, nothing's the same [Chorus] so easy, to daydream, of these golden years Claim that the best of your life, is behind you Say that your progress, turned to apathy And that your playground, is broken around you Yes, I can miss the parks and the lanes Restaurants and ballrooms, quite a few... ! Joints, where I was soaring, in the music reins... ! Loved all my lovers, but never true [Verse 3] One of them became my passion's only flame in a one-room flat but the railway was the same studies and work would drive us to the ground Then came children, a cat, and a hound [Bridge] Always rented a film our kids wanted to see Didn’t know that a change was meant to be One day you just left with two big bags left me standing in the hallway on the worn out rugs [Chorus] So easy, to daydream, of these golden years Claim that the best of your life, is behind you and that euphoria, made you, go, away And that your ego, has tricked you, into do so Yes, I can miss. All the places. Where we kissed we wove a web of life, out of, the yarn of love So why keep on, looking back, at those old, betrayal When I instead can see, grandchildren play When I instead can see, grandchildren play [Chorus] So easy to daydream of these golden years Claim that the best of your life, is behind you and that euphoria, made you, go, away And that your ego, has tricked you, into do so Yes, I can miss. All the places. Where we kissed we wove a web of life, out of, the yarn of love So why keep on, looking back, at those old, betrayal When I instead can see, grandchildren play When I instead can see, grandchildren play
