Think I Don't Remember

I will always go back to the site of the bay
Where the nights never seemed as long as the day
The dog-collar army we tremble before
Those spires don’t look so tall anymore
Dad was always driving the top of the road
Mum’s in the doorway still thanking the Lord
Green birds took 'em to the land of the free
When they were gone it was all up to me
These city lights don’t shine like you say
The green, green grass is all turning to grey
You made this boy gold and then turned him to stone
This is my home
You think I don’t remember, but I do
But I do
You think I don’t remember, but I do
Yeah, I do
No one saw it coming 'til it was too late
But it was the young that would carry the weight
Shook hands with the mighty for better or worse
Sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse
These city lights don’t shine like you say
The green, green grass is all turning to grey
You made this boy gold and then turned him to stone
But this is my home
You think I don’t remember, but I do
Yeah, I do
You think I don’t remember, but I do
Yeah, I do
Here’s to the journey, I know who I am
As much as we fought, that was never the plan
I’m not the first, I won’t be the last
Take me back to the grove, and we’ll all raise a glass
You think I don’t remember, but I do
But I do
You think I don’t remember, but I do
But I do
You think I don’t remember
You think I don’t remember, but I do
You think I don’t remember, but I do
You think I don’t remember, but I do
I will always go back to the site of the bay
Where the nights never seemed as long as the day
