about

A little voice inside my head said,
'Don't look back, you can never look back...'

lyrics

I woke up this mornin’, I had nothing on my mind
No job to do, no thought of you, no worries, girl, no lie
I can’t quite remember when it was that I went blind
No eye for joy, survived it, boy
And I’m seeing now just fine

We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back…. Forsaken Homeland

It’s no good believin’ when your faith is built on dreams
That once were shared, someone cared
And you were building memories
The times I remember, they’re over now, it seems
When love lives on and hope is gone
It gets a little hard to see

We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back…. Forsaken Homeland
We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back…..

The sunsets aren’t the same
The old ones weren’t this tame
But like the moth and the candle flame
I found out the hard way

My good friends, they worry, they think I might be going down
They act so assuring and try to cheer me up somehow
And just for insurance they say you might be comin’ ‘round
They don’t know you are a stranger to me now

We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back…. Forsaken Homeland
We can never go back to the things we used to know
No!
