Intro

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

Down

 Down was only a direction

 And sad

 Sad was only on TV

 And I had faith and I had protection

Chorus

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

Bridge

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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
