what happened up on Hemming's Way 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
and I can hear your laughter
it stays with me after all this time
and I still got your records
clash and the selector
and don’t worry desmond dekker's doin’ fine
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
I, I can hear laughter
it stays with me after all this time
and I still got your records
clash and the selector
and don’t worry desmond dekker's doin’ fine
seeds to the roots to the trunk to the truth
it’s understanding when it first began
in the day up to the sky
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 am still gone
what you gave to me back when we first met
what you gave to me back when we first met
I, I can hear laughter
it stays with me after all this time
and I still got your records
clash and the selector
and don’t worry desmond dekker's doin’ fine
