down by the ocean, the gulls glide on air
sweet sea salt moisture, tastes like here
welcome home Carrie, welcome back
echo our memory, never forget
slipping down the alleys, garbage stacked high
sutrid stench wafting your nose while you walk by
welcome home Carrie, welcome back
echo our memory, never forget
just as were open, the doors all seem closed
all the old hang outs have been bulldozed
welcome home Carrie, welcome back
echo our memory, never forget
city sky line outlined against the hills
remember the late night party thrills
big buildings all covered in glass
reflecting your face as you pass
nothing much changes, things stay the same
as your face ages, isn’t it a shame,
we can’t be there forever
to watch it all fade, to watch history on parade
sand in my toes, the beach has been combed
the ships in the harbor klink while their moored
welcome home Carrie, welcome back
echo our memory, never forget
