The Last Visit

from Black Dog by Mark Ayling

/

lyrics

Memories ebb and flow
of stories that were told
Over 30 years ago

This house has never changed
Still full of ghosts and memories
just rearranged

I try to focus through the haze
Try to recognise the face
beyond the sadness and shaded lines

but the young are now the old
and the old have disappeared
Lost in time

The world outside the window
Grows silent for now
As I try to listen
To the stories that these four walls can tell

On those long summer days
with not a care for anything
In overgrown, abandoned places where we'd play

Now those trucks no longer stand
On the station yard waste ground
and the trains will never run this way again

Because nothing stays the same
Even these memories will change
Nothing left ingrained
