You Can Never Go Home

As the grey skies weep
And the rain pours down
I recall what used to be here
The stream where fish leap
And forest around
Have all disappeared

Fifty years have passed
'Tween the boy and the man
While we all got on with our lives
Yet change seems fast
In a short timespan
There's nothing I recognise

So,keep all your memories enshrined
In the brightly lit church of your mind
Wherever you've been
And wherever you've roamed
It's true, you can never go home

The boy who walked
The fields and the lanes
Is only a memory,in truth
The past is now locked
And the door wrapped in chains
Lost, along with his youth

Well, we'd all take a sip
From the fountain of youth
There's not much we wouldn't trade
But when time takes a nip
And we see the whole truth
We may have reason to be afraid

So, keep all your memories enshrined
In the brightly lit church of your mind
Wherever you've been
And wherever you've roamed
It's true, you can never go home
