by the place where we used to stay

I was out blind,

still growing in the yard

I can still smell the fragrance as sweet

stand aimlessly at the door

but I can still hear them dancing
C

To the silence when I think of yesterday
C 
A faded picture in my wallet
Am 
that I hold in my hand
F 
Take me back to the time
Dm

when life was in a plan
F

I was young man, I wasn't doing nothing

Memories took me back
where we used to stay, baby
