We lit a fire on the moors To watch the purple heather and the gauze Go up in smoke in late July A stupid thing to make you smile That bracken burned like nothing I've ever seen before
What have I become, I left my friends I'm so different now, have you forgotten my name?
Down empty streets, where footsteps never ring
In village halls with roofs now fallen in The hours spent in silent towns Discarded cars we drove around The cities that have never seen a living thing
Tell it to somebody who cares I found you hiding at the top of the stairs Took a shower just to wash off the shame You just kept saying the same Have you forgotten my name?
