Song | Since I've Been Around |
Artist | The Waifs |
Album | Up All Night |
作曲 : Cunningham | |
Walking down the main street of the town where | |
I was born | |
Looking at these things | |
I’ve seen so many times before | |
I take a deep breath, smile and kick a stone along the ground | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
There’s comfort in the way that everything still looks the same | |
People that | |
I bump into; they call me by my name | |
It almost feels as though | |
I never even left this town | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
My girlfriend lived on | |
Hawdon Street – man was she a sight | |
Sometimes | |
I would sneak into her bedroom late at night | |
Now she’s not there – | |
I’m told her family long since left the town | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
Yeah many of my friends found some other place they’d rather be | |
But I still know of one good mate, she gonna keep me company | |
I think I’ll gonna call her up, we’ll go and paint the town | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
I stopped on by her place, years ago | |
I knew her well ‘ | |
Let’s go drink to old times at the | |
Adelaide Hotel’ | |
She said it’s twenty years now since they shut that old pub down | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
Yeah but the hospital’s still standing, down over by the river shore | |
That’s the place where | |
I took my first breath, so many years before | |
I take a deep breath now and feel my chest begin to pound | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around | |
Now I’m lying by the river feeling lazy in the shade | |
Children shout and splash about in water where | |
I played And | |
I’m thinking | |
I could stay a while, maybe settle down | |
Been so long, since | |
I’ve been around |
