steve tilston - memory lane lyrics

i thought i saw a shadow
of a former self
kicking over statues
from a dusty shelf
i’ve tried to find the pieces
to put ‘em back again
i scour the outer reaches
down on memory lane
it’s in and out of focus
the picture’s seldom clear
facts & figures choke us
cut the atmosphere
yesterday was sunshine
they say tomorrow’s rain
i’ll see you on the sideline
down on memory lane
the temple bell tolls and beckons us back
like sheep we cleave to familiar tracks
the past tense demands we turn again
rebuild the bridges we burned back when
all was split asunder, fire and thunder, all was turmoil and confusion, such confusion
away back then
in a fancy i looked to find you
where the best recollections belong
an imprint of youth way behind you
a small clue in the folds of a song
memory lane – the past tense beckons me again
memory lane – i’ll come running back again
memory lane – so i hurry back again
memory lane – and i scurry back again
and the word from a mutual acquaintance
you’d slipped these earthly chains
if i look i know i will find you
somewhere on memory lane
there’s places i have languished
stairways i have known
bas-m-nts i have cherished
dared to call a home
where daylight seldom ventured
through a window pane
won’t you meet me around midnight
down on memory lane?
my memory sometimes falters
my footfall not as sure
where was that window?
where was that door?
there used to be a way here
but i search in vain
i’m going round in circles
down on memory lane
