Crooks Lyrics by The Winter Passing

Scrapbook

2013

I made my way through town last night
Just to see if anything had changed since I last walked these streets
But everything was as grey as it’s always been
Except a lick of paint on an old abandoned pub
And I can’t help complaining

[Chorus]
It’s always raining, even in the summer time
All our hopes and dreams were washed down the drain
And I’m standing here on Main Street
Still wondering why all the crooks stole all the pretty girls

I’m just waiting for something to happen
While the jukebox plays all its saddest songs
I take a look around the room
And realize I’ve got nothing left in common with anyone except a Tipperary accent

[Chorus]

I still have your picture hanging in my room
To remind myself of your bright blue eyes
But some things come too late and we’ve been through this before
Just please, don’t tell me I’m walking home alone

[Chorus]

I still remember my father's words that night when he said
‘Son, no matter where you go in life, this will always be your home’
