G
Well I came a long way to be here today and
                            C
I left you so long on this avenue...
     D
And here I stand in the strangest land not
                       G
Knowing what to say or do... 

As I gaze around at these strangers in town I 
                            C
guess the only stranger is me...
Chorus; 
          D
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the

way life's meant to be...

Verse 2;
G

Although it's only a day since I was taken away and left 
                              C
standing here looking in wonder...
    D
Oh the crowd at my feet maybe it's just the old street but 
                                G
every thing that I Know lies under...

And when I see what they've done to this place that was 
                                C
home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh

Too late for you too late for me...

As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people 

               C                  D
never speak aloud...  with it's ivory towers and it's plastic 
                                G
flowers I wish I was back in 1981

Just to see your face in stead of this place now I know what 
               C
you mean to me. Ohhhh
