Walter remember
When the world was young
And all the girls knew Walter's name

Walter isn't it a shame the way
Our little world has changed

Do you remember Walter
Playing cricket in the thunder and the rain

Do you remember Walter
Smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate

Yes Walter was my mate

But Walter my old friend
Where are you now

Walter's name
Walter isn't it a shame the way
Our little world has changed

Do you remember Walter
How we said we'd fight the world
So we'd be free

We'd save up all our money
And we'd buy a boat
And sail away to sea

But it was not to be

I knew you then but do
I know you now

Walter you are just an echo of a world
I knew so long ago
Water

If you saw me now you wouldn't
Even know my name

I bet you're fat and married
And you're always home in bed
By half-past eight
And if I talked about the old times
You'd get bored
And you'll have nothing more to say

Yes people often change
But memories of people can remain
