This Town Ain't The Same

(album: Shine On - 1994)

I walked shadows of backstreet yesterday
I couldn't find the places where we used to play
Ten thousand friendly faces, all it passed away
Things are not the way they were before
This town ain't the same anymore

Names we scratched concrete have a long warn away
Like a first class citizen they'll hurry on their way
They never see the sun for building hide the way
I couldn't find an open door
This town ain't the same anymore
This town ain't the same anymore

I don't know its name
And it don't know mine
Wouldn't it be fine

If we could change each other back again
This town and I will never be the same
The girl I loved once, now has even changed her name
So I leave silently, silently I came
And what's the pass good for?
This town ain't the same anymore
This town ain't the same anymore

I changed my ways and this town changes too
I ran away and so has anyone I knew
The streets and gutters whispers softly who are you

That's the question I ignore
This town ain't the same any more
Mmm...

This town ain't the same any more
This town ain't the same any more
