Better Days

Took a walk down paramount
(Ive seen better days)
Left behind a friend of mine
(Ive seen better days)
Passed by a statue of saint augustine in prayer
Said for one, the only one
I turned my back at her
The elevator rose to the eleventh floor
(Ive seen better days)
Her trenchcoat hangs inside her door
(Ive seen better days)
A leaky window welcomed rain and left me standing here
A black-haired girl who taught me truth
I turned my back on her
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, down
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days
Made love in the toronto rain
(Ive seen better days)
From hamilton I look the train
(Ive seen better days)
What you regret, you softly said are things you never do I regret I didnt turn
And run back home to you
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, down
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days, better days
Now I stand in sympathy
Not for her but for me I could have turned I could have stayed
But I just walked away
I could have done a lot of things
In my better days
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, down
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days, better days
