Wind You Back

about

Theme: Retrospective

lyrics

Her face is a blank canvas
As she's wheeled from room to room
Vacant stare through thickened glasses
Smell of sweat and cheap perfume
A band's set up in the corner
A group of volunteers from town
As the music starts to play, she can't resist to tap along
As colours start to wash away her frown

CHORUS

Wind you back, when grass was greener
Floating away on those melodies
Bitten by sweet nostalgia
Lost on a dive into memories

The rain falls ever stronger
As he paddles home from work
Tinny headphones, shuffled songs to stop his death from boredom
Find one that for years he hasn't heard
A pang of memories forgotten
Of laughs and of friends from golden years
Vows that bounds can be rewritten
To call them up, meet up and have a beer

CHORUS

And as life goes on you'll find those songs
That hit you like a freight train (hit you like a freight train)
The friends you've made and the friends you've lost
(You can remember but you can't go back)
When they knock you down and you can't go on
(hit you like a freight train, hit you like a freight train)
Take a moment, then raise your head and sing along
Be thankful for the times you had

CHORUS
