Only Memories Remain
What's become of my old town?
The neighborhood is all run down
The Little Buck Creek's all green and brown
Where we used to splash around
What's become of my old town?
The shops are gone or gone to seed
That used to offer things we need
Boarded up or near defeat
They're standing still along Main Street
The shops are gone or gone to seed.
There was a time when all I knew
Was this small town point of view
Narrow as a sliver
Oh, but certain all the same
Now only memories remain.
People I see all appear
Hidden by a thin veneer
Familiar but obscured
They pass me by without a word
People are all strangers here
I know it's pointless, oh, it's foolish
Returning to a place you left
So, why was I thinking
I could ever go back?
Where everything has changed
And no one knows my name
And only memories remain.
What's become of my old town?
The neighborhood is all run down
The Little Buck Creek's all green and brown
Where we used to splash around
What's become of my old town?
The shops are gone or gone to seed
That used to offer things we need
Boarded up or near defeat
They're standing still along Main Street
The shops are gone or gone to seed.
There was a time when all I knew
Was this small town point of view
Narrow as a sliver
Oh, but certain all the same
Now only memories remain.
People I see all appear
Hidden by a thin veneer
Familiar but obscured
They pass me by without a word
People are all strangers here
I know it's pointless, oh, it's foolish
Returning to a place you left
So, why was I thinking
I could ever go back?
Where everything has changed
And no one knows my name
And only memories remain.
What's become of my old town?
