"Back In The Day" lyrics

"Back In The Day"

Adrift and in a dream
Like fallen leaves in a flowing river
A life of harmony for you and me

When unexpectedly
Someone said that nothing lasts forever
It all became so very clear to me

With each new passing day
I see that old world fading away
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
That I knew back in the day

The light has gone away
And I can't see it coming back tomorrow
I stumble in the dark to find a way

I tried to reconcile
The living now with the dying hour
I know I can't get back to yesterday

With each new passing day
I see that old world fading away
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
That I knew back in the day
I'm downbeat in a daze
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
That I knew back in the day

With each new passing day
I see that old world fading away
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
That I knew back in the day
I'm downbeat in a daze
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
That I knew back in the day
