Select language to translate this lyric
I thought I saw a shadow,
of a former self.
Kicking over statues,
from a dusty shelf.
Iâve tried to find the pieces,
to put âem back again.
I scour the outer reaches.
Down on memory lane.
Itâs in and out of focus.
The pictureâs seldom clear.
Facts & figures choke us,
cut the atmosphere.
Yesterday was sunshine,
they say tomorrowâs rain.
Iâll see you on the sideline.
Down on memory lane.
The temple bell tolls and beckons us back.
Like sheep we cleave to familiar tracks.
The past tense demands we turn again.
Rebuild the bridges we burned back when,
All was split asunder, fire and thunder, all was turmoil and confusion, such confusion
away back then.
In a fancy I looked to find you,
where the best recollections belong.
An imprint of youth way behind you.
A small clue in the folds of a song.
Memory lane â the past tense beckons me again.
Memory lane â Iâll come running back again.
Memory lane â So I hurry back again.
Memory lane - and I scurry back again.
And the word from a mutual acquaintance.
Youâd slipped these earthly chains.
If I look I know I will find you.
Somewhere on memory lane.
Thereâs places I have languished.
Stairways I have known.
Basements I have cherished,
dared to call a home.
Where daylight seldom ventured,
through a window pane.
Wonât you meet me around midnight,
Down on memory lane?
My memory sometimes falters,
my footfall not as sure.
Where was that window?
Where was that door?
There used to be a way here,
but I search in vain.
Iâm going round in circles,
Down on memory lane.
