I'm going back to the time
when we owned this town
Down Powder Mill Lane
in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers
and clueless clowns
I didn't know
I was finding out how
I'd be torn from you
When we thought about things
we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers
and wiser too
We go down to the rides
on east parade
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night coming down
on the Sovereign Light Cafe
I'm begging you for some sign
but you've still got nothing to say
Oh I'm turning back home
and I'm walking away
I'm a better man now
than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides
on east parade
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night coming down
on the Sovereign Light Cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand
on the pier
Watch the drunks
and the lovers appear
Take time
just the stars and
the Sovereign Light Cafe
I wheel my bike off the train
Up the North Trade Road
Look for you along the way
In every building
Every streetlight
Oh why did we ever go
so far from home
But You've got nothing to hide
You can change
Who you really are
You can get a big house
and a faster car
You can run away boy
But you won't go far
Let's go down to the rides
on east parade
by the lights of the palace arcade
Watch night coming down
on the Sovereign Light Cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand
on the pier
Watch the drunks
and the lovers appear
Take time
just the stars and
the Sovereign Light Cafe
