Good old Norfolk days....a downtown stroll at five
The people leaving buildings goin' home
Each one has his way....they come here to survive
And leave behind a world they've never known
Chorus
Old folks walk the streets alone remembering their lives
Passing sailors look for love among the bars and dives
Pseudo-intellectuals that never have arrived debate the plays.....lost in a maze
On Norfolk days....
Good old Norfolk days....a shoreline stroll at noon
The gentle waves come splashing from the bay
A bridge that spans the tide....the ships that sailed too soon
Are waiting out at anchor one more day
It used to be so nice to spend an afternoon
The sandy beach at clear blue Ocean View
But all of that has changed and no one seems to mind
They stay at home and read it in the news
Chorus
Old folks walk the streets alone remembering their lives
Passing sailors look for love among the bars and dives
Pseudo-intellectuals that never have arrived debate the plays.....lost in a maze
On Norfolk days....
