St Mary's
Nostalgic Reflections: St Mary's Melancholy
Lyrics
Headed to St mary's, I cross the avenue
Heading to St. Mary's, crossing the avenue
The last time I came here
Last visit, just turned twenty-two
I'd just turned twenty-two
Desire to be a hero in the town
I should be a hero in this town
Acceptance of anonymity, keeping a low profile
But that's alright, I'm keeping my head down
Reflecting on humble beginnings
It all started here
Significant events started in this place
Walking on a road like this
Walking down a familiar road
Singing at The Joiners
Singing at The Joiners, a local connection
bowing down to Matt Le Tiss
Respect for Matt Le Tiss, local figure
Move like a suburban hurricane
Describing a dynamic and impactful presence
Red and white still running through my veins
Expressing loyalty to hometown colors
Tell the city that I love her
Declaring love and nostalgia for the city
And I miss her ways
Missing the city's unique qualities
Only fools hold on to the glory days
Reflecting on the transient nature of glory days
When memories fade and friends move on
Acknowledging changes in friendships and memories
I'll never forget where I come from
Pledging never to forget roots
All I've got are memories
Treasuring memories as valuable
That's good enough for me
Contentment with memories as sufficient
Looking past The Old Dell, remember '93
Recalling a significant football moment in 1993
Rewind on the radio again
Listening to past experiences on the radio
T-shirts "6 - 3" all over them
References to a specific event with "6 - 3"
Post relegation following the northern lights
Mention of post-relegation and new directions
Foreign destinations, California in my sights
Aspiring for foreign destinations, like California
A thousand airports and I feel the same
Feeling constant despite various travels
Red and white still running through my veins
Continued loyalty to hometown colors
Tell the city that I love her
Reiterating love for the city and its ways
And I miss her ways
Expressing the longing for the city
Only fools hold on to the glory days
Caution against clinging to past glories
When memories fade and friends move on
Recognition of changing memories and friendships
I'll never forget where I come from
Commitment to never forget origins
Walking through the suburbs and the
Walking through memories of the past
World I left behind
Nostalgia for the world left behind
Looking for your headstone
Searching for a symbolic headstone
'06 still on my mind
Reflecting on the significance of 2006
Don't think that I felt this way before
Unprecedented emotions and reflections
Decades passed still knocking at my door
Long-lasting impact of past experiences
It's way past the sunset
Feeling strange past sunset
I'm feeling kinda strange
Various emotions as the day ends
All kind of drinking
Notable moments involving drinking
Some things they never changed
Recognition of enduring elements
9 pm and it's time to board my train
Boarding a train at 9 pm
Another year 'til I'm out here again
Anticipating a yearly return
Tell the city that I love her
Expressing love and longing for the city
And I miss her ways
Missing the unique qualities of the city
Only fools hold on to the glory days
Warning against clinging to past glories
When memories fade and friends move on
Acknowledging changes in memories and friendships
I'll never forget where I come from
Reaffirming the commitment to roots
