We, we were always on the run

From that old witch up the street


In the days when I was young




Ride, ride our bikes on into town


For some hockey cards and


Whatever trouble may be found




I can never bring them back


But those days remain inside the very heart of me

My memories are white and black


But the songs the same, it plays in every part of me




Down, down was only a direction


And sad, sad was only on TV


And I had faith and I had protection




I can never bring them back


But those days remain inside the very heart of me

My memories are white and black


But the songs the same it plays in every part of me




I still look back


The summer sun shining


A light was always shining on me




I was gone with the feel of her lips


On my very first kiss

And it seems so long since I left it all behind


In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind




Choking on cigarettes in the park


Chasing my old dog around the yard


Hanging out on the street until dark

And then its time to go home





I can never bring them back

But those days remain inside the very heart of me


My memories are white and black

But the songs the same, it plays in every part of me




Snow was always falling down

And the sound remains inside the very heart of me


My mother waving from the porch

And the sight of it still plays in every part of me




I still look back

The summer sun shining


A light was always shining on me



I was gone with the feel of her lips


On my very first kiss

And it seems so long since I left it all behind

In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind




I still look back

The summer sun shining

A light was always shining on me
