Better Days

Took a walk down Paramount
(I've seen better days)
Left behind a friend of mine
(I've seen better days)Passed by a statue of Saint Augustine in prayer
Said for one, the only one
I turned my back on herThe elevator rose to the eleventh floor
(I've seen better days)
Her trench coat hangs inside her door
(I've seen better days)A leaky window welcomed rain and left me standin' here
A black-haired girl who taught me truth
I turned my back on herToo late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, ooh
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better daysMade love in the Toronto rain
(I've seen better days)
From Hamilton I took the train
(I've seen better days)What you regret, you softly said are things you never do
I regret, I didn't turn
And run back home to youToo late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, ooh
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days, better daysNow I stand in sympathy
Not for her but for me
I could have turned, I could have stayed
But I just walked away
I could have done a lot of things
In my better daysToo late for hope but a dream remembered
Lay me down, down, ooh
Too late for hope but a dream remembered
Better days, better days, better days
Better days, better days
