Jon Burrowes - I Remember It Well

11. I Remember It Well

I saw you sitting in the corner cafe
Far and away – what more can I say?
I saw you sitting with your eyes on fire, I said
Oh yeah - you'll get high -
Then come home, and make me cry, I said
Oh yeah - I remember it well.
Do you remember us, way back then?
You said how, when I said when.
Do you remember how we fooled your man?
You said you'd meet me under the stair.
I must have waited for an hour there.
Oh yeah, I remember it well -
Do you remember those - burning teardrops
Etched into your shaking hands,
While red-hot rock-'n-roll music
Pounded down from the band?
Now you're still sitting in the corner cafe
The very last one still looking for fun.
I could have had you, and we could have gone far.
Now you got your table, way in the back
And I'm out the window by the railroad track
Singing Oh yeah, I remember it well –
I remember it well
