st mary's - Gareth Emery

Headed to St. Mary’s, I cross the avenue

The last time I came here, I’d just turned 22

I should be a hero in this town

But that’s alright, I’m keeping my head down

It all started here, walking on a road like this

Singing at the Joiner’s, bowing down to Matt Le Tiss

Move like a suburban hurricane

Red and white blood running through my veins

Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways

Only fools hold on to the glory days

When memories fade and friends move on

I’ll never forget where I come from

All I’ve got are memories, that’s good enough for me

Walking past The Old Dell remember '93

Rewind on the radio again

T-shirts with 6:3 all over them

Post relegation following the northern lights

Foreign destinations, California in my sights

A thousand airports and I feel the same

Red and white still running through my veins

Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways

Only fools hold on to the glory days

When memories fade and friends move on

I’ll never forget where I come from

Walking through the suburbs and the world I left behind

Looking for your headstone, '06 still on my mind

Don’t think that I felt this way before

Decades passed still knocking at my door

It’s way past the sunset, I’m feeling kinda strange

All kind of drinking, some things they never changed

Nine p.m.

and it’s time to board my train

Another year til I’m out here again

Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways

Only fools hold on to the glory days

When memories fade and friends move on

I’ll never forget where I come from
