Forgotten street Lyrics

The young couple gathered round the radio

After a hard day's labour, it's time for tea

Their first-born child can't be very long now

Son or daughter still a secret there

The same night he was there

There's a memory inside my brain

Sometimes driving me insane

The moment I felt I was really there

Being aware, I was really there.

When I go back in time I see

A garden with a cherry tree

A damp green lawn and flowers all around

My first-touched ground

Flowers all around

Behind it all, I found this garden wall

A secret world on the other side

It invited me, it took hold of me

It showed me for the first time how to fight

Had to break the spell

I tried and fell

Never really giving up the try

It challenged me and made me see

You need a goal in life just to survive

Years passed by, never wondered why

So fixed upon the climbing of that wall

Just something to be done

And in the long run

I felt the thrill of finally looking down

The other side, was not I had in mind

In fact, this world was very much the same

But the fight was right it satisfied

The search for things to come in life

And the seasons changed the garden

Life was changing fast

My world started to harden

So many questions there to ask

And the answers came in slowly

Still most of them don't do

They really make no difference

It's the search for something new

So I keep on trying, on and on

New walls to climb despite the height

I wonder when the day will come

Your heart's at ease and you find peace

'Cause peace of mind is hard to find

There's always something there to climb

Until one day you realize

The game is over, time is running out

The night before the demolition

I went back to the house

Sat down in the darkest corner

To share it's final night

We left the place like fugitives

No tear was left to cry

Escorted by malicious pleasure

Expelled by wicked eyes

When they tore down the house

They took away a part of me

Empty space in a long-forgotten street

The walls that used to give me shelter

The secrets they had kept

Waiting for the final countdown

To blow it all away...
