Verse 1:
What happened up on Hemmingway
Well. we will never change
You used to be a friend of mine
The last 5 years went by so fast
So fast I find it strange
The beneficial medicine of time
Chorus:
And I, I can hear your laughter
It stays with me after
All this time
And I, I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
And donât worry Desmond Dekker s doing fine.
Horns:
Verse 2:
But doors were shut, the lines were cut,
The walls went up so quick
The windows of opportunity were small
Brides collapsed, divides were wide
Sides we had to pick
And oh yeah, I forgot to call
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Seeds to the roots to the trunk to the truth
Itâs understanding when it first began
In the day up to the sky
And we climbed up so high
And we carried on the only way we can
Laugh on and live
Learn how to forgive
What we have could be as good as what we get
If you forgot,
Now, I still got
What you gave to me way back when we first met.
What you gave to me way back when we first met
(Chorus)
I, I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
and donât worry, Desmond Dekker s doing fine.
