Letter To Lester - The Pancakes

Were you in quarry bay the other day

'Coz I think I saw you in the subway

Or maybe not 'coz it was just a fifteen-year-old

Who looks like that you twenty years ago

You must have grown into a big man now

Have you become the person you've always wanted to be

Or have you become the person your mother wanted you to be

How about the dream that you dreamed

Did you make it or do you fake it

Do you still tell anyone about it

So are you leading the life that you've always planned to lead

Or are you living a life that only your wife wants to live

How about the book you started to write

Did you complete it or delete it

Did you lie to anyone about it

It's been a long long long long time

Since last I saw your face your smile

It is a long long life

Filled up with love and lust and lies

I still remember on that rainy day

How you slowly walked away and cried

Have you found the button that you said could reset one's life

Or have you learnt to love yourself as you were born to be

How about the songs that you wrote

Do you still keep them or did you sweep them away

Before they could make their ways to the record companies

It's been a long long long long time

Since last I saw your face your smile

It is a long long life

Filled up with love and lust and lies

Do you sill remember on that rainy day

How you slowly try to walked and cried

It's been a long long long long time

Since last I saw your face your smile

It is a long long life

Filled up with love and lust and lies

Why did you act like a fool when you're not such a fool

When you let them walk away and cry

How our dreams they walked away and died
