Memories of Old Days Lyrics by Gentle Giant

The Missing Piece

1977

[Instrumental Intro 0:00–2:38]
[Verse 1]
Now the wings fell to ground as the miles they were crossed
All the years seemed like days as the time it was lost
For without his solutions and reasons for why
He should come up for air to the town once his by
[Chorus]
So soon on his way
Shadows from the pathways
Memories of old days
[Verse 2]
That the journey was long many thoughts filled his mind
As he neared the stop always a dream he would find
But the road that he knew could no longer be seen
And the city lights flickered where lake waters gleamed
[Chorus]
With sadness today
Hopes of joy yesterday
Memories of old days
[Instrumental Break 4:16–5:21]
[Verse 3]
And the sky and the trees of his youthful time spent
Only smoke, only paper, no colour or scent
[Chorus]
With sadness today
Hopes of joy yesterday
Memories of old days
[Outro]
And with sadness today
Hopes of joy yesterday
Memories of old days
