I'm going back to a time when we owned this townbr Down Powdermill lane in the battlegroundsbr We were friends and lovers and clueless clownsbr br I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from youbr When we talked about things we were gonna dobr We were wide-eyed dreamers and wiser toobr br We'd go down to the rides on east parade,br By the lights of the palace arcadebr And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafébr br I'm begging you for some sign,br But you've still got nothing to saybr Don't turn your back on me, don't walk awaybr I'm a better man now than I was that day.br br Let's go down to the rides on east parade,br By the lights of the palace arcadebr And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafébr br Let's go down to the bandstand on the pierbr Watch the drunks and the lovers appearbr To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Cafébr br I wheel my bike off the train,br Up the North Trade Road,br And look for you on Marley Lanebr In every building, in every street sidebr Oh, why did we ever go so far from home?br br Well, you got nothing to hide,br You can't change who you really are,br You can get a big house and a faster carbr You can run away, boy, but you won't go far.
