Broken cars
Old guitars
Waitin' here for the time to pass
Time takes it's toll
Took it fast
Secret meetings
At the river's bend
Simple days
When I called you friend
Came a time
We went separate ways
[Chorus:]
Those were our young years
Our wings were flying in the sun
Now the winter at our windows
Feels so cold
Where are our young years
Everything's seen some better days
Hopes in which we sailed away
Lie all rusted on rocky ground
Here we sit with a schooner of ale
Dreaming of a wind that would 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 in our stride
[Chorus]
Those were our young years
Our wings were flying in the sun
Now the winter at our windows
Feels so cold
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good would 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
Our memories won't fade away
[Chorus]
Those were our young years
Our wings were flying in the sun
Now the winter at our windows
Feels so cold
Back in our young years
Sometimes the good would not die young
Now we live on memories alone
[Chorus]
Those were our young years
You know we'll live it all again
We could turn the tide
And sail it all away
back to our young years
Those were our young years.
