Empty Streets

These empty streets, don’t speak to me no more
These city lights, have got nothing more in store
I see my youth stand still on independence avenue
These roads don’t lead me home
And as the years drift by, those days we took for granted
Return to us no more
Those times we’ve lost they fade they bleed together
Times we shared so long ago
Those days when time stood still we thought they’d last forever
Now we remember them no more.
Another round for the strong of heart
They don’t run when the rain comes crashing down
We never had it all so bad
Fist fights on the skirts of a bleeding town
When endless nights grow cold
We’d run those empty streets
And left our troubles waiting back for us at home
Those fields of green run gold when summer skies turn grey
Before the winters long grip takes hold
Those times we’ve lost they fade they bleed together
Times we shared so long ago
Those days when time stood still we thought they’d last forever
Now we remember them no more.
