lyrics

across the sand towards the shade
i'm looking back at the tracks i've made
the same old smile on the same old face
this sea-side town the same old place
but will there be a trace
of when we were young
of when we were young
of when we were younger
than today

and across the mear onto the dunes
i listen to the skylarks tune
i watch the children as they play
and how they steal my thoughts away
i'm running through another day
of when we were young
of when we were young
of when we were younger
than today

but i
i remember the heather on the moors
and the running home from top of the granite tors
down watery lane i'm chasing shadows once again
of when we were young...
but how the time will fly
just pass you by
how the time will fly
how the time will fly

take my hand and we'll walk in the sun
we'll talk of the past - of all we have done
old stories are always the best
remember the good - forget the rest
and we can just reminisce
of when we were young
of when we were young
of when we were younger
than today
yesterday
