Only In Our Memories

[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] And it's all gone now... those faded walls and crumbling rooms. The flickering lights that always burned out too soon. They tore you down to pack more in, all shiny and all new. But what about the memories? The witness to our youth? [ Chorus ] So we ran and laughed and joked, oh, we were just so free. Didn't know who we were, but so sure of who we'd be! And the space it is filled now, with glass and shining chrome. No sign of our old ghosts, ah the memory of our home. So, we never can move backwards! The world it must go around. It's Only In Our Memories - that piece of hallowed ground. [ Verse 2 ] And we've moved on now... we've oh such busy lives. Forgetting all those times when we looked with wider eyes. The colors were so vibrant, the future was so bright. We were young, happy and foolish, running towards the light. [ Chorus ] So we ran and laughed and joked, oh, we were just so free. Didn't know who we were, but so sure of who we'd be! And the space it is filled now, with glass and shining chrome. No sign of our old ghosts, ah the memory of our home. But we must never look backwards! The world keeps on spinning around. It's Only In Our Memories - that piece of hallowed ground. [ Bridge ] [ Final Chorus ] So we ran and laughed and joked, oh we were just so free. Didn't know who we were, but so sure of who we'd be! And the space it is filled now, with glass and shining chrome. No sign of our old ghosts, ah the memory of our home. They can tear the buildings down, but some things stay the same. It's Only In Our Memories - the wind whispers our names. [ Outro ]
