Verse
C Am
It's Autumn here, going on November
C Am
I view the leaves in all their splendour
C Am
Is it déjà vu, I just can't remember
C Am
I stop a while and take in the scene
C Am
I stop a while and ask a stranger
C Am
Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane
C Am
I don't know where I am or what I'm after
C Am
I'm stuck here again back on Memory Lane
Verse
C Am
Now the leaves are falling and it's coming on to Winter
C Am
Nights keep getting shorter and shorter every day
C Am
One sign up ahead says 'DANGER'
C Am
Another one says 'STOP'
C Am
One says 'YIELD THIS WAY'
Verse
C Am
And it swerves and moves around the corners
C Am
And there's flashing lights up ahead 'round the bend
C Am
The road curves and twists and turns
C Am
And twists and turns and wanders
C Am
'Til you get, ' til you get to the very end
Verse
C Am
Now I'm back here again with more questions than answers
C Am
And I'm standing in the pouring rain
C Am
There's something moving, moving in the shadows
C Am
And it's getting dark now, up on Memory Lane
C Am
I stop a while and ask a stranger
C Am
Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane
C Am
I don't know where I am or what I'm after
C Am
I'm stuck here again back on Memory Lane
C Am
I stop a while and ask a stranger
C Am
Is this the place that was once called Memory Lane
C Am
I don't know where I am or what I'm after
C Am
I'm stuck here again back on Memory Lane
C Am
I'm stuck here up, back on Memory Lane
C Am
I'm stuck here back up on Memory Lane
C Am
I'm stuck here back, back up on Memory Lane
Am
