Just Like Tears in the Morning (Lockdown Sessions)

"Remember me," he said quietly
"I was the face in the photograph"
I remember then she said when we were friends
Kids were swimming in the summer

And the years, they rolled by
Like tears in the morning
Just like tears in the morning

He was the father but not the son
Built a castle by the ocean
Winter came, it kept them warm
She said she'd always be his lover

And the years, they rolled by
Like tears in the morning
Just like tears in the morning

Worked all day like a fire in the rain
His back was aching from his labour
Came home one night, she turned out the lights
She said, "I love you but you won't let me in"

And the years, they rolled by
Like tears in the morning
Just like tears in the morning

Time moved on, the friends were gone
Couldn't see their own bed
The storm came, blew it all away
Saw her coming through the window

And the years they rolled by
Like tears in the morning
Just like tears in the morning

"Remember me," he said silently
I hope that you are happy
