Well there's a colour picture
In my mind
Of all the places
That I've left behind
The broken windows

Where the wind blows through
Empty shells of houses
That have turned to ruin
Oh, we were so young

We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
And I remember you

You were the back yard boy
Hiding in the wreckage
Of broken dreams
Standing by the railway line
Standing

Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
And all the sweetness

Has been taken out of this place
So many memories
Are knocked down or replaced
And I can't stand to see

The shifting time
Taking me further
Leaving you behind
