I seek lanes I once walked
to breath again my native air
Discover tasks left undone
more than my fair share
This place was once my home
will my seeking be in vain
Nought ventured nought gained
my quest I will not abstain.
I seek the place I once stood
a rebel with little cause
Regret has long been by my side
only silence heard no applause
Find the place my head once laid
home where my heart last cried
An answered prayer shows the way
and my conscience hopefully guide.
If childhood ghosts still reside
then I know words will be spoken
Savour the last of my summer wine
and repair some hearts I've broken
Places absorbed in the passing time
my sweet dreams and memories lost
I will lay me down and rest awhile
so little time to count the cost.
