Email: * = strum once [Intro]             [Verse 1] While window shopping through the past I ran across a looking glass Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light Tragic magic prayers of passion Stay the same through changing fashions They freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Instrumental]             [Verse 2] Photographs show the laughs Recorded in between the bad times Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes Well sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip. [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Verse 3] And ten times what it grieves you That’s how much more I hate to leave you now So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Instrumental]             [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Outro] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le souvenir et la nostalgie, en faisant le récit d'un voyage à travers un passé marqué par des moments à la fois joyeux et douloureux. Le narrateur se remémore sa jeunesse passée, pleine d'aventures et d'incertitudes, avec un mélange d'amertume et de tendresse. Il se rend compte de la difficulté de tourner la page, tout en exprimant un déchirement profond à l'idée de laisser derrière lui des liens et des souvenirs précieux. Le ton est mélancolique, soulignant le contraste entre les souvenirs heureux et les épreuves vécues.
