Allen Poe - Old Street lyrics
rate meFive 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!
