"Days We Left Behind" lyrics - PAUL MCCARTNEY

Looking back
At white and black
Reminders of my past
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
But nothing built to last

[Chorus:]
Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No one can erase
The days we left behind

[Piano Riff]

See the boys of Dungeon Lane
Along the Mersey shore
Some of them will feel the pain
But some were meant for more

[Chorus:]
Nothing stays the same
No one needs to cry
Nothing can reclaim
The days we left behind

[Bridge:]
We met at Forthlin Road
And wrote a secret code
To never be spoken
I stand by what I said
The promise that I made
Will never be broken

[Chorus:]
Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No one can erase
The days we left behind

[Piano Riff]

In the skies, the skylarks rise
Above the sounds of war
Since that day, I knew they'd stay
With me for evermore

[Chorus:]
'Cause nothing stays the same
And no one needs to cry
No one is to blame
For the days we left behind

[Outro:]
The days we left behind
