They are part of what was for you of what used to be
The good and bad memories are all you retain
Of people that you may never meet again
From your hometown your journey in life took you to elsewhere
For to make a new life in the big World out there
In your first hometown from here far away
To many you may be a stranger today
Your friends of the past today you may not recognize
As ageing changes faces one comes to realize
Like you they have forged new friendships and in life have moved on
And like you only retain the memories of days now long gone
Goodbye to the people you have not seen for years
For the what used to be you have shed your last tears.
