Allen Poe - Old Street lyrics

rate me

Five friends I had here on this old street

You’ve got a new place, I won’t be here when we next meet

These things I wish I didn’t have to move

This brings a feeling of inaptitude

Which strings do I pull? If I only knew

No more bikes after school,..

I still see you... in school, when we pass through

With different classes though, and different tables in the lunch room

Chorus:

Let me do that thing

Memories say

Like the sun feeling inside this

Seeing those days we go on.

I ask my momma if she would drop me by

She said yes, but most nights we didn’t have the time

So I ask her everyday about my old street

When I grew up in that other place, it ain’t me.

That was elementary, and now we’re high school

Different circles are strange, but we’re accustomed to

New friendships, couldn’t replace those

Even though my best friends from early, remain so

Life is a serious of moving aways

But the love I have for them days forever stays

Before I knew it, graduation came

College job, or drugs, say what’s your choice, man!

We didn’t speak for some years, inevitably

And regardless, though, of our destiny

Of our old street I still dream when I rest and see

Probably be a nice Heaven when we rest in peace.

Chorus:

Let me do that thing

Memories say

Like the sun feeling inside this

Seeing those days we go on

Feel it inside your soul.

But I just go and make that go on

I did college, did army, did employment

Got married, had two kids, got employment

After all these years, it’s funny though

Cause when the evening sets and the sun starts to cast the glow

I still think of me as a kid again

And us playing in the streets like we did it then

I hope one of them hear this and feel the same

Cause we never head back, once I moved away

I wish there were no hands on the clock’s face

To jump around in my life, through time and space

We’ll be right back, there in the crypt, behind the...

Get the rocks bare feet, just some young dreamer kids

I remember it, some is vivid, some is patchy,

But none is sad, and all was happy

Back .. momma and daddy

I was fond of a... and I recall it gladly.

Peace!
