Just a young boy's memory
Summer days
Chasing rabbits through the fields
Taking water from the well
And the warmth of a grandfather's smile
And his magical eyes
It's hard to go back again
To be who we have been
Hot as the memory burns
It's colder where you've been
By the light of kerosene
Deals of toys and dominoes
Play for matches, play for laughs
Flirting with the radio
Count the stars in the dark
By the candlelit eye in the night, you and I
It's hard to go back again
To be who we have been
Hot as the memory burns
It's colder where I've been, oh, oh
(Solo)
All the stone-face sepia stares
Looking out with secret smiles
In defiance of the years
Remember me, I knew you well
And the warmth of my grandfather's smile
And his magical eyes
It's hard to go back again
To be where we have been
Hot as the memory burns
Its cold in Starcarr Lane, whoah
Starcarr Lane, oh, oh, oh
