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 I can never bring them back But those days remain inside the very heart of me My memories are white and black But the song's the same It plays in every part of me Down Down was only a direction And sad Sad was only on TV And I had faith and I had protection I can never bring them back But those days remain inside the very heart of me My memories are white and black But the song's the same It 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 Choking on cigarettes in the park Chasing my old dog around the yard Hanging out on the street until dark And then it's time to go home I can never bring them back But those days remain inside the very heart of me My memories are white and black But the song's 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
