Well there's a colour picture

In my mind

Of all the places

That I've left behind

The broken windows

Where the wind blows through

Empty shells of houses

That have turned to ruin

Oh, we were so young

We didn't realize

Just what we'd done

Oh, we were too young

And I remember you

You were the back yard boy

Hiding in the wreckage

Of broken dreams

Standing by the railway line

Standing

Oh, we were so young

We didn't realize

Just what we'd done

Oh, we were too young

And all the sweetness

Has been taken out of this place

So many memories

Are knocked down or replaced

And I can't stand to see

The shifting time

Taking me further

Leaving you behind
