Days Gone By

Don't let this dream stop, it feels so right

Nothing means nothing when the dark turns light

Let me wander crazy and stumble back through the night

Head in the clouds with a hundred dollar bill

Nobody keeps score when it's time to kill

And I oughta know better, I can never buy me a thrill

And the memory comes back to me

Bring me back to days gone by

And I can't pretend they'll come back again

And I know too much, way too much to ask why

You know I can't ask why

Oh, let it fall down and shine it's sweet light on me

As Richard tells a story

And every word he says has set me free

Like a dream that's fading, you can't catch when it's gone

Like a perfect night that's broken by dawn

Like everything you wanted out of reach from now on

Six out of seven still leaves you one shy

You can look to forever and never know why

And it's time, it's time and the bottle just ran dry

And the memory comes back to me

Bring me back to days gone by

And I can't pretend they'll come back again

And I know too much, way too much to ask why

You know I can't ask why
