Intro lead

Intro

Broken cars, old guitars

Waiting here for the time to pass,

Time takes it toll - it took it fast

Secret meetings at the river's bend

Simple days when I called you friend

Came a time, we went separate ways

 Those were our young years

Our wings were drying in the sun

 Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

 Where are our young years

Everything seemed better days

Boats in which we sailed away

Lie all rusted on rocky ground

Here we sit with a schooner of ale

Dreaming of a wind that'll make us sail

Taking us far away

 Do you remember how it was?

 We had the moon and tide behind us

 We used to take it up take it up!

 Those were our young years

Our wings were drying in the sun

 Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

 Back in our young years

Sometimes the good did not die young

Now we live on memories alone

 Of our young years

 If we had the moon and tide behind us

 We could still sail so far away

 And time would pass

And things would change

And memories would fade away

 Those were our young years

Our wings were drying in the sun

 Now the winter, at our window feels so cold

 Back in our young years

Sometimes the good did not die young

Now we live on memories alone

 Those were our young years

You know we'll live it all again

 We can turn the tide and sail away

 Back to our young years

Those were our young years
