Nothing ever changes,
Oh, I wish to god it did;
Just another drink and you’ll be gone.
It’s 2:00 A.M., raining again,
I saw you making faces in the river.
Only me, down by the quay,
Just a sad reflection that I give you.

I thought time would burn it,
burn it down to the ground;
Just another breeze and you’ll be strong.
Driving home, all on my own,
Just a passenger in all that we lost.
Satisfy, oh, lord don’t deny,
I see your face in everything that’s near, ’cos
You were always in the back of my mind.

Oh, I have all the memories –
The winter of ’82,
When down upon the ice you saw me melt.
It’s 2:00 A.M., raining again,
I saw you making faces in the river.
Only me, down by the quay,
Just a sad reflection that I give you.

Washed up on the rocks again,
Oh, don’t you know that it’s so damn hot,
and the things you do –
I won’t ever learn.
I won’t ever learn.

You were always in the back of my mind.
You’re always in the back of my mind.
