lyrics

Can’t Go Back

I returned to this soil
November, three years ago
But I don’t recall the bright lights
Nor the icy winds and snows

I arrived with my girl, Jenny
A young rose who I loved so
We settled down and I got working
For this other man she used to know

And do you sometimes think about me
Darling when you’re on your own
Do you sometimes dream of your old love
Do you sometimes dream of home

Days were fine while I was working
But I missed the days when life was slow
I held my tongue when I saw Jenny
Saw her smile when the bright cash flowed

Yeah days were good I made some money
But I missed the way the old winds blow
Then one night I came home early
And I found Jenny packed and ready to go

And do you sometimes think about me
Darling when you’re on your own
Do you sometimes dream of your old love
Do you sometimes dream of home

Now these days I count the fires
Sometimes talk on the telephone
But its a different voice im thinking of
At night when im alone

I want to go back to my hometown
I want to go back to roam
Where the ghosts of Jenny wander
Not the the girl who once eloped

And do you sometimes think about me
Darling when you’re on your own
Do you sometimes dream of your old love
Do you sometimes dream of home
