I came with the electric train
Alighted on the platform
With the traveling lady from Italy
I was seventeen at the time
Then a taxi through town
Now summer could start
No time for reflection
No time to mourn
We had everything in front of us
Mysteries and miracles
We sat drinking on my balcony
Then the sun came over the roof
(ref)and clarence, we're parting ways
You chose a different path, it doesn't matter
And clarence, these are just my memories
But I want to write them down before it's all gone
And the glove that we threw
It falls through the net
This is a declaration of love
No salt in the net
And the girls in the songs
Where the only one and the right
That time will never come
Back to me
But I need all this
And we woke up in the wrong neighborhood
With no money to come home< br/>You asked me what we did yesterday
And what happened to us
(ref)and clarence, we're going our separate ways
You chose a different path, it doesn't matter
And clarence, these are just my memories
But I want to write them down before it all disappears
(ref)and clarence, we are parting ways
You chose another life, that doesn't matter
And clarence, these are just my memories
But I want to write them down before they disappear completely
