[Verse 1]
I will always go back to the side of the bay where the nights never seemed as long as the day
Where The Dog Collar Army We trembled before
Their Spires don't look so tall any more
Dad was always driving
Top of the road
Mams in the doorway still thanking the lord
Greenbirds took em to the land of the free
When they were gone it was all up to me

[Chorus]
These city lights don't shine like you say
The green green grass is all turning to grey
You made this boy golden then turned him to stone
But This is my home, you think I don't remember but I do
I do
You think I don't remember but I do
Yeah I do

[Verse 2]
No-one saw it coming till it was too late
But it was the young who would carry the weight
Shook hands with the mighty for better or worse
Sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse

[Chorus]
These city lights don't shine like you say
The green green grass is all turning to grey
You made this boy golden then turned him to stone
But this is my home, you think I don't remember but I do
I do
This is my home, you think I don't remember but I do
Yeah I do
[Verse 3]
Here's to my journey
I know who I am
As much as we fought that was never the plan
I'm not the first and won't be the last
To go back to the Grove and we're always a class

[Chorus 2]
You think I don't remember but I do
You think I don't remember but I do
I do
You think I don't remember
You think I don't remember but I do
You think I don't remember but I do

I will always go back to the side of the bay
Where the nights never seemed as long as the day
