The Jayhawks

Took a walk down paramount
(I’ve seen better days)
Left behind a friend of mine
(I’ve seen better days)
Passed by a statue of saint augustine in prayer
Said for onethe only one
I turned my back at her
The elevator rose to the eleventh floor
(I’ve seen better days)
Her trenchcoat hangs inside her door
(I’ve seen better days)
A leaky window welcomed rain and left me standing here
A black-haired girl who taught me truth
I turned my back on her
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me downdowndown
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days
Made love in the toronto rain
(I’ve seen better days)
From hamilton I look the train
(I’ve seen better days)
What you regretyou softly said are things you never do
I regret I didn’t turn
And run back home to you
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me downdowndown
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better daysbetter days
Now I stand in sympathy
Not for her but for me
I could have turned I could have stayed
But I just walked away
I could have done a lot of things
In my better days
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me downdowndown
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better daysbetter days
