Looking back at white and black
Reminders of my past
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
But nothing built to last

Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No one can erase
The days we left behind

See the boys of Dungeon Lane
Along the Mersey shore
Some of them will feel the pain
But some were meant for more

Nothing stays the same
No one needs to cry
Nothing can reclaim
The days we left behind

We met at Forthlin Road
And wrote a secret code
To never be spoken
I stand by what I said
The promise that I made
Will never be broken

Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No one can erase
The days we left behind

In the skies, the skylarks rise
Above the sounds of war
Since that day, I knew they'd stay
With me forevermore

'Cause nothing stays the same
And no one needs to cry
No one is to blame
For the days we left behind
The days we left behind
