lyrics

I come back and what do I find,
No longer a home, no longer what's mine,
Left alone in the ashes to grieve (Crying over litter, Crying over litter)
My hometown's crumbled to dirt,
No friends, no foes, just hurt,
Oh why did I ever leave,

Chorus:
And on the outskirts of town,
We would drink lemonade for a nickel,
You've been around,
You've seen the damage as it's done,
Hear that sound,
I don't need another version now,
Here on the outskirts of town,

Up in the hills a familiar face,
Her picture got me through the days,
The long days stranded out at war,
Suzy, Suzy, it's me, it's me,
I'm finally home but home isn't here anymore,
Suzy, please don't run away,
Suzy, I'm here to stay,
Don't you know me? Don't you know me?

(Chorus)

(Don't you remember me,
Look deep inside, try hard to see,
You were the one,
You were my one and only one,
Hear my voice,
I don't think you have any other choice,
This was our home, this was our town)

(Suzy please, Suzy it's me, Suzy it's me)
