Are You One Of Those

Are you one of those who do feel close to tears
When you do think back on the now long gone years
And the games with your young friends in the school yard you did play
You often wonder about them where are they today?

Perhaps some like you from the old school yard live far
And perhaps some at rest now where dead people are
And perhaps some of them in the home place did stay
And like you they are showing the wear of time decay

You often think of the good times with them you've had
Of our fondest of memories the side effects can be sad
The memories are all we have of our good times long gone
And life all around us as usual goes on

Nostalgia lives on in the ageing migrant's mind
And in the happiest of memories sad side effects you will find
But we live in the now and the past is in the past
And the clock on our lives ever keeps ticking fast.
