Better Days

Took a walk down Paramount (I've seen better days) Left behind a friend of mine (I've 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 (I've seen better days) Her trenchcoat hangs inside her door (I've 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 (I've seen better days) From Hamilton I look the train (I've seen better days) What you regret, you softly said are things you never do I regret I didn't 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
