Long Lost Days

By Bruce Clifford

With these ups and downs
The shapes, the views, the sounds
Take this all away
Go back to a long lost day


These monuments out of tune
We left the earth so soon
Make this go away
Remind me of long lost days


Long lost days
The cost of the mistakes we’ve made
All I want to do is remember
Those long lost days


Each mystery survives
The space, the winds, the tides
Take this all away
Remind me of a long lost day


The memory on the divide
We used to walk these streets with pride
Nobody wants to stay
Remind us of long lost days


Long lost days
The cost of the mistakes we’ve made
All I want to do is remembe
r Those long lost days


There was once a place where we could go
There were so many memories to make and pictures to show
Now we are living with the choices we’ve made
All I want to do is remember those long lost days
