Lyrics
PAST
Verse:
1. A faded photograph brings memories of a day -
a time and place now left behind.
Forgotten faces smile, their reasons long elapsed -
awakes a yearning to relive the past.
2. Our mutual starting point, that moment caught in time -
then each their calling must obey.
For some, a fulfilled life, but others toil and pray -
their dreams, long held, will come true one day.
Middle Eight: (Repeated)
Oh how I miss them
Ghosts from my youth
Time is a robber
A thief on the loose
Verse:
3. Relentless progress, forcing friendships to one side -
a different ethos now prevails
The joy of youth replaced, material wealth we seek -
a time to stop and rewind our lives
a time to stop and rewind our lives
4. A faded photograph can change our current ways -
good times, best friends and more great days
good times, best friends and more great days
