Always in the Back of My Mind

Only me, down by the quay

When down upon the ice you saw me melt

Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind

I saw you making faces in the river
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
And the things you do?
Just a sad reflection that I give you
Nothing ever changes, oh, I wish to God it did

And the things you do?
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
Oh, I'm driving home, all on my own
Ooh, I won't ever learn, I won't ever learn
You're in the back of mind
I thought time would burn it
In the back of mind
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
Only me, down by the quay

Oh, it's two am raining again

Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
Burn it down to the ground
Just a sad reflection that I give you

Oh, don't you know that it's so damn hot
Satisfy, oh, Lord, don't deny
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
Oh, washed up on the rocks again

Ooh, I have all the memories, the winter of eighty-two
Ooh, you were always in the back of my mind
I saw you making faces in the river
I won't ever learn, I won't ever learn

Just a passenger in all that we lost
I see your face in the everything that's near 'cause
Just another drink and you'll be gone
Oh, don't you know that it's so damn hot
Oh, it's two am raining again
Ooh, washed up on the rocks again
Just another breeze and you'll be strong

I won't ever learn, ooh, I won't ever learn
