I'm going back to the time when we owned this town Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you When we talked about things we were born to do We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade and Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away I'm a better man now than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade and Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
I wheel my bike off the train, Up the North Trade Road, Look for you on Marley Lane In every building, every street sign, Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
You've got nothing to hide, you cant change who you really are, You can get a big house and a faster car You can run away boy, but you won't go far
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
