Steve Tilston - Memory Lane lyrics

I thought I saw a shadow Of a former self Kicking over statues From a dusty shelf I've tried to find the pieces To put ‘em back again I scour the outer reaches Down on memory lane It's in and out of focus The picture's seldom clear Facts & figures choke us Cut the atmosphere Yesterday was sunshine They say tomorrow's rain I'll 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 – the past tense beckons me again Memory lane – I'll come running back again Memory lane – So I hurry back again Memory lane - and I scurry back again And the word from a mutual acquaintance You'd slipped these earthly chains If I look I know I will find you Somewhere on memory lane There's 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 Won't 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 I'm going round in circles Down on memory lane
