[Verse] City lights don't warm the soul Streets are cold and take their toll Memories of what could've been Missing days when we were kin [Verse] Paper thin this old veneer Cracked and tired worn by years Could've danced on sparklin' floor Now just echoes through the door [Chorus] Wandering back home in my mind Searching faces I can't find Every alley every stone Wishing I was not alone [Verse] In the park where children play Ghostly laughter fades away Once a father standing proud Now just blend into the crowd [Bridge] Every step's a tale untold Whispers of young days of gold Could've held you one more time Lost in endless uphill climb [Chorus] Wandering back home in my mind Searching faces I can't find Every alley every stone Wishing I was not alone [Chorus] Wandering back home in my mind Searching faces I can't find Every alley every stone Wishing I was not alone Could've danced on sparklin' floor Now just echoes through the door
