Verse 1
Has it been nearly 20 years?
Since I lived on this innocent street
Where the trees grow tall
Summer nights are long
The people haven't changed, just a bit older 
Their skies are grey their nights a bit colder

Verse 2
We grew up together she lived down the road 
From the start we were kindred spirits
Her laughter is the best memory for me
She said the more you look the more you'll see 
The journey's been long
I remember her in my sad song

Chorus
Well back to Berwick Road I go 
Not knowing what I'll uncover
Memories are long, feelings are strong 
I remember her in my sad song

Verse 3
She had the spirit of a restless soul
Found it had to make connections 
Her innocent life's cut short
A beautiful spirit taken away
The journey's been long
I remember her in my sad song 

Chorus

Verse 4
I sang her a lullaby
Sang so soft and meaningful
A smile made it's way across her face
But I knew I'd never see her again
Her Illness was worse would not get any better 
I know that my heart will never forget her
