Lyrics
I remember the city
I have memories of the city.
I remember the songs
Recollections of the songs from the past.
We used to live in the city
We used to reside in the city.
Those days are gone
Those days are now in the past.
I remember the Village
Memories of the Village.
Going down to play a show
Going to play a musical performance.
Staying up writing poems
Staying up late composing poems.
At old Caffè Reggio
Reflecting on times spent at the old Caffè Reggio.
Where does the time go
Contemplating the passage of time.
When did we get so old
Expressing surprise at how old we've become.
I don't know if you sing anymore but
Uncertain if the listener still sings.
I remember
Recalling specific memories.
I remember the songs
Reiteration of memories associated with songs.
I had a dream that I skipped town
A dream of leaving town.
I rolled my bags under the turnstile
Carrying bags through a turnstile.
And felt the cold metal burn my skin
Feeling the discomfort of cold metal on the skin.
Imagine myself as the kind of person
Imagining acceptance of endings.
That's okay with endings
Reflecting on the reluctance to quit while ahead.
But who am I to quit while I'm ahead
Questioning personal authority to decide.
Where does the time go
Repeating the contemplation of time passing.
When did we get so old
Expressing surprise at the aging process.
I don't know if you sing anymore but
Uncertain about the listener's current singing activity.
I remember
Recalling memories again.
I remember the songs
Reiteration of memories associated with songs.
It all seemed so intense then
Reflecting on the intensity of past experiences.
Life and death at the diner at 4AM
Mentions life and death at a diner in the early morning.
Stumbling through familiar streets
Navigating through familiar streets while stumbling.
To the river's edge
Heading towards the river's edge.
Where does the time go
Repeating the contemplation of time's passage.
When did we get so old
Expressing surprise at the aging process.
I don't know if you sing anymore but
Uncertain if the listener still sings.
I remember
Recalling memories once more.
I remember
Reiteration of memories.
I remember
-I remember the songs
Recalling songs from the past.
Where does the time go
Repeating the contemplation of time passing.
When did we get so old
Expressing surprise at the aging process.
I don't know if you sing anymore but
Uncertain if the listener still sings.
I remember
Recalling memories once more.
I remember the songs
Reiteration of memories associated with songs.
I remember the songs
Repetition of recalling past songs.
The songs, the songs
Emphasis on the memories of songs.
I remember the songs
Repeating the recollection of songs.
I remember the songs
-I remember
Reiteration of remembering.
I remember the songs
Reiteration of memories associated with songs.
