Songtexte: David Rovics. Times Gone By.

Driving down this highway once again on my own
Makes me think of other times I wasn't so alone
When coming to this country reminded me of you
Made me think about your eyes and all the things we used to do
I think about the river and I think about the park
And all the things we did with a candle in the dark
I think about our bedroom and the cafe down the street
Where I spent so many hours weathering the heat

I remember you
Here beneath the cloudy sky
I remember you
And the times gone by

I think about the passion and the things you said to me
When the world was ours and we were lucky just to be
I think about your tears and the gulf that seemed to grow
I think about the winter sky and how it seemed to know
I think of our final words and how you looked at me
Like some sailor for the last time going out to sea
I got into the taxi, saw the look within your eye
You were saying see you soon, but you really meant goodbye

I remember you
Here beneath the cloudy sky
I remember you
And the times gone by

Now I'm going down this lonely road, this land we used to share
But if I go to your apartment I know you won't be there
'Cause I'm stuck here in this car with too much time to think
And I can see you clearly every time I blink
I'm looking at the asphalt, thinking of the past
How things just seem to change and good things often do not last
Life can be a bed of roses or a board of darts
But it seems to me so often like a trail of broken hearts

I remember you
Here beneath the cloudy sky
I remember you
And the times gone by
