Lyrics The Old School Yard - Mick Flavin

I had walked down a road, a road full of memories
On a journey back to visit childhood friends
And I stopped at a gate that led into a school yard
Some forgotten feelings come to me again

The silence that stares from the dirty, dusty windows
Broken only by the babble of a stream
And I feel as though I'm watched by a thousand different faces
As I recollect a thousand different names

Now the old school yard is wild and over-grown
All the fences I have crossed are broken down
And I've learned many things (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Some of them best forgotten (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Since the last time that I stood upon that ground

I closed my eyes, can't hold back the memories
Childhood voices calling out to me
From deep inside, I see one of the faces
Looking at the man that he turned out to be

Now the old school yard is wild and over-grown
All the fences I have crossed are broken down
And I've learned many things (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Some of them best forgotten (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Since the last time that I stood upon that ground

Oh, the old school yard is wild and over-grown
All the fences I have crossed are broken down
And I've learned many things (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Some of them best forgotten (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Since the last time that I stood upon that ground

Oh, the old school yard
