Back in the old days
Baby, you won't rise again
Ah, but it's all changed
Can't see nothing more around, no
So nice to see you coming
And the sea was clean
What you're going through now
Stones crumbling under my feet
I see smoke for miles around
People needing more and more
Old man with his head down
But he remembers how it used to be
Evil destruction has taken everything
Back in this town again
Where's it leading to
Oh, it's enough to make you weep
When no one was looking
Came down on day
That you don't recognize
You'd better know
And it stole away the land
Your home is a black horizon
People running scared, losing hands
Back in this town again
Down the street keep your distance
And you'd better watch your eyes
You came back here to find
Dodging shadows of falling sand
But he remembers how it used to be
Come peeping through
While you're still walking
So nice to see you coming
Ain't able to see no reason why, no
It's nice to see a friendly face
Buildings standing like empty shells
'Cause if smoke gets in them
And nobody, helping no one else
So nice to see you coming
From the people you meet, oh, Lord
You'd better walk on the side
And there was no high walls
So nice to see you coming
Back in this town again
Up in the park on Sunday
It's nice to see a friendly face
And it's all getting lost
Freedom at what cost
Back in this town again
Young child with his hands high
Having tea In the afternoon, now
Back to the time
Don't stop that sun to shine
Just keep on walking on
When the earth was green
Come peeping through
Winter turned on a man
I want back, I want back
Dogs chasing and the children played
All that remains of the main street
