Days We Left Behind

  • Looking back
    At white and black
    Reminders of my past
    Smoky bars and cheap guitars
    But nothing built to last

    Nothing ever stays
    Nothing comes to mind
    No one can erase
    The days we left behind

    See the boys of Dungeon Lane
    Along the Mersey shore
    Some of them will feel the pain
    But some were meant for more

    Nothing stays the same
    No one needs to cry
    Nothing can reclaim
    The days we left behind

    We met at Forthlin Road
    And wrote a secret code
    To never be spoken
    I stand by what I said
    The promise that I made
    Will never be broken

    Nothing ever stays
    Nothing comes to mind
    And no one can erase
    The days we left behind

    In the skies, the skylarks rise
    Above the sounds of war
    Since that day, I knew they'd stay
    With me for evermore

    'Cause nothing stays the same
    And no one needs to cry
    No one is to blame
    For the days we left behind
