What happened up on Hemming's Way well We will never change You used to be a friend of mine
The last 5 years went by so fast So fast I find it strange The beneficial medicine of time
And I can hear your laughter It stays with me after all this time
And I still got your records Clash and the selector And don't worry desmond dekker's doin' fine
But doors were shut The lines were cut The walls went up so quick The windows of opportunity were small
Brides collapsed Divides were wide Sides we had to pick And oh yeah, I forgot to call
I, I can hear laughter It stays with me after all this time And I still got your records Clash and the selector And don't worry desmond dekker's doin' fine
Seeds to the roots to the trunk to the truth It's understanding when it first began In the day up to the sky We climbed up so high And we carried on the only way we can Laugh on and live Learn how to forgive What we have could be as good as what we get If you forgot Now I am still gone What you gave to me back when we first met What you gave to me back when we first met
I, I can hear laughter It stays with me after all this time And I still got your records Clash and the selector And don't worry desmond dekker's doin' fine
