Walter, remember when the world was young |
|
And all the girls knew Walter's name? |
|
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed? |
|
Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain? |
|
Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate? |
|
Yes, Walter was my mate, |
|
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now? |
|
Walter's name. |
|
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed? |
|
Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free. |
|
We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea. |
|
But it was not to be. |
|
I knew you then but do I know you now? |
|
Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago |
|
Walter, if you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name. |
|
I bet you're fat and married and you're always home in bed by half-past eight. |
|
And if I talked about the old times you'd get bored and you'll have nothing more to say. |
|
Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain |
