Paul McCartney Days We Left Behind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking back at white and black
Reminders of my past
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
But nothing built to last

[Chorus]
Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No-one can erase
The days we left behind

[Verse 2]
See the boys of Dungeon Lane
Along the Mersey shore
Some of them will feel the pain
But some were meant for more

[Chorus]
Nothing stays the same
No-one needs to cry
Nothing can reclaim
The days we left behind

[Bridge]
We met at Forthlin Road
And wrote a secret code To never be spoken
I stand by what I said
The promise that I made
Will never be broken

[Chorus]
Nothing ever stays
Nothing comes to mind
No-one can erase
The days we left behind

[Verse 3]
In the skies the skylarks rise
Above the sounds of war
Since that day I knew they'd stay
With me for evermore

[Chorus]
'cause nothing stays the same
And no-one needs to cry
No-one is to blame
For the days we left behind

[Outro]
The days we left behind
