Partners in crime

Remembering childhood years, recalling days we spent
Recollections of this town, places where we went
Playing football in the park, playing on the swings
Latest record in the charts, the one that we would sing

I feel I’m back in time
When we were partners in crime
I feel I’m back in time
Back when we were partners in crime

Buildings are desolate industry has gone
Once a large community now there is none
Once there was prosperity that was long ago
This town is a shadow of the one we used to know

I feel I’m back in time
When we were partners in crime
I feel I’m back in time
Back when we were partners in crime

It must be long ago the last time that we met
Looking back losing track we share a few regrets
Time has been kind to you you’ve hardly changed at all
Exchanging fond farewells and promising to call

Relating one last story as we finish up our beers
Remark upon the chance of us meeting here
Brought back happy memories this night of reminisce
Back to an age and a time that we often miss

I feel I’m back in time
When we were partners in crime
I feel I’m back in time
Back when we were partners in crime
