Better Days - The Jayhawks

Took a walk down paramount

(Ive seen better days)

Left behind a friend of mine

(Ive seen better days)

Passed by a statue of saint augustine in prayer

Said for one, the only one

I turned my back at her

The elevator rose to the eleventh floor

(Ive seen better days)

Her trenchcoat hangs inside her door

(Ive seen better days)

A leaky window welcomed rain and left me standing here

A black-haired girl who taught me truth

I turned my back on her

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Lay me down, down, down

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Better days

Made love in the toronto rain

(Ive seen better days)

From hamilton I look the train

(Ive seen better days)

What you regret, you softly said are things you never do I regret I didnt turn

And run back home to you

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Lay me down, down, down

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Better days, better days

Now I stand in sympathy

Not for her but for me I could have turned I could have stayed

But I just walked away

I could have done a lot of things

In my better days

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Lay me down, down, down

Too late for hope but a dream remembered

Better days, better days
