I made my way back to my hometown
It looks just the same
The schools and the factories
Standing alone still remain
But the faces have changed
And the ones I knew are gone
And I hear the laughter and voices
Still echo my name I remember the days
When we'd play till the morning light
It's a lifetime forgotten
As old times make way for the new
But theres no turning back
As the vision it fades away
Yet I hear the laughter and voices
Still calling my name
When we played ring-a-ring-a-Rosa-Ree
And we seen life as full of mysteries
I stand here at night
On this cold avenue of life
If words they could speeak
It would mean even more to me
But the faces have changed
And the ones I knew are gone
And I hear the laughter and voices
Still echo my name
When we played ring-a-ring-a-Rosa-Ree
And we seen life as full of mysteries
It looks just the same
The schools and the factories
Standing alone still remain
But the faces have changed
And the ones I knew are gone
And I hear the laughter and voices
Still echo my name I remember the days
When we'd play till the morning light
It's a lifetime forgotten
As old times make way for the new
But theres no turning back
As the vision it fades away
Yet I hear the laughter and voices
Still calling my name
When we played ring-a-ring-a-Rosa-Ree
And we seen life as full of mysteries
I stand here at night
On this cold avenue of life
If words they could speeak
It would mean even more to me
But the faces have changed
And the ones I knew are gone
And I hear the laughter and voices
Still echo my name
When we played ring-a-ring-a-Rosa-Ree
And we seen life as full of mysteries
