Gone gone childhood daysGone in so many waysAll that I have said and doneThe castles we have overcomeAt last you have found a friendThe sweetest voice will never endAnd it echoes down the mountainsidePeople live and people dieFriendly face will always beWrapped up in my childhood daysOld dogs and worn out shoesEven children sing the bluesHow we must endure it allTo save god’s creatures great and smallAll my world is there and thenThe voices come to me againAnd they echo down the mountainsidePeople live and people dieI still can see my daddy’s face, oh lordThis is a lonely placeFast train , train too slowMaybe you got no place to goLet me set your spirit freeIt’s crazy but you comfort meWe share together what we foundThe force of love is all aroundAnd it echoes down the mountainsideLittle bit of soul we hideFind us lost without a traceOh lordThis is a lonely placeGone gone childhood daysGone in so many waysIn all my children you can seeWhat old aquaintance means to meDrean is mine and here it staysAll wrapped up in my childhood daysAnd it echoes down the mountainsidePeople live and people dieTho I love you for alwaysI lost you in my childhood days
