Let's go back in time
To that childhood of mine
To where the gypsies parked their cars
Beneath that bridge we'd hide
Down riverbanks we'd slide
Under those English summer stars

I wonder what became of
Those kids I knew the names of
I still got a deep love
For my old neighborhood
Did I just see an old ghost?
Hide behind a lamppost
Been talking to the fine folks
In my old neighborhood

So take my hand lets go
Where memory’s rivers flow
And every footstep rings a bell
And in those deep dark woods
My childhood memory floods
So be my witness as I tell

I wonder what became of
Those kids i knew the names of
I still got a deep love
For my old neighborhood
Did I just see an old ghost?
Hide behind a lamppost
Been talking to the fine folks
In my old neighborhood

I’ve been meaning to have people over one evening
Put on the songs we believed in
When we were young
And let them take us all away
And I lean on a memory that I thought was long gone
A memory that I thought was all wrong
But here it is
As vivid as a sunny day


I wonder what became of
Those kids I knew the names of
I still got a deep love
For my old neighborhood
Did I just see an old ghost?
Hide behind a lamppost
Been talking to the fine folks
In my old neighborhood
