st mary's

Heading to St. Mary's, I cross the avenue,
The last time I came here, I'd just turned twenty-two
I should be a hero in this town
But that's alright, I'm keeping my head down

It all started here, walking on a road like this
Singing at The Joiners, bowing down to Matt Le Tiss
Move like a suburban hurricane
Red and white blood running through my veins
Tell the city that I love her
And I miss her ways
But only fools hold on to their glory days
When memories fade
And friends move on
I'll never forget where i come from

All I've got are memories
That's good enough for me
Walking past the old dell, remember '93
Rewind on the radio again
T-shirts with 6-3 all over them

Post relegation, following the northern lights
Foreign destinations, california in my sights
A thousand airports and I feel the same
Red and white still running through my veins
Tell the city that I love her
And I miss her ways
But only fools hold on to their glory days
When memories fade
And friends move on
I'll never forget where I come from

Walking through the suburbs and the world I left behind
Looking for your headstone, '06 still on my mind
Don't think that I've felt this way before
Decades passed still knocking at my door

It's way past the sunset, I'm feeling kinda strange
Old gang out drinking, some things they never changed
9pm. and it's time to board my train
Another year till I'm round here again
Tell the city that I love her
And I miss her ways
But only fools hold on to their glory days
When memories fade
And friends move on
I'll never forget where I come from
