I Remember You
Eurythmics Lyrics

Well there's a color picture
I have a vivid image in my mind

In my mind.
It exists only in my thoughts

Of all the places
Of every location

That I've left behind.
That I've departed from

The broken windows
The shattered glass panes

Where the wind blows through
Where the wind passes through freely

Empty shells of houses
Abandoned buildings without life

That have turned to ruin.
That have decayed over time

Oh, we were so young.
We were naive and inexperienced

We didn't realise
We did not comprehend

Just what we'd done.
The true extent of our actions

Oh, we were too young.
We lacked the maturity necessary

And I remember you.
You still remain in my memory

You were the back yard boy.
You were the one who enjoyed playing outdoors

Hiding in the wreckage
Concealed among the ruins

Of broken dreams.
Of unfulfilled hopes and aspirations

Standing by the railway line.
Positioned beside the train tracks

Standing.
Simply standing there

And all the sweetness
All the goodness and joy

Has been taken out of this place.
Has been removed from this location

So many memories
Numerous recollections

Are knocked down or replaced.
Are demolished or substituted

And I can't stand to see
I am unable to bear witness to

The shifting time
The altering of time

Taking me further,
Pulling me away

Leaving you behind.
Abandoning you in the past

And I remember you.
You still remain in my memory

You were the back yard boy.
You were the one who enjoyed playing outdoors

Hiding in the wreckage
Concealed among the ruins

Of broken dreams.
Of unfulfilled hopes and aspirations

Standing by the railway line.
Positioned beside the train tracks

Standing.
Simply standing there
