I'm going back to a time
when we owned this town
Down Powdermill lane
and the Battle grounds
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 gonna 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 turns as the stars
of the Sovereign Light Café
I wheel my bike off the train
Up the North Trade Road
And look for you
on Marley Lane
In every building
in every street sign
Oh why did we ever go
So far from the road
But you got nothing to hide
You can't 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
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 turns as the stars
of the Sovereign Light Café
Sha la la la la la la dee day
Yeah
I'm going where the
people know my name
