lyrics

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

There’s a church on the hill across the street
At a place where as children we would meet
And there’s always col green grass beneath our feet
When we were young, when we were young

And we ‘d talk of travelling westward with the sun
Looking out across this town what has become
Of all our friends we knew and places everyone
When we were young, when we were young

In our dreams we’re Lawrence adrift oh in a caravan
Oh the hero of the east in the desert sand
But we’ll always be the child inside the man
When we were young, when we were young

There’s a boat out at sea across the bay
At a place where as children we would play
On that long winding road down to the sea
When we were young, when we were young

As England is an island in the sea
Your home is where your heart will always be
Though we all believe one day we could be free
When we were young, when we were young

Our tears are cried in innocence no more
In our hearts and minds washed up on some foreign shore
And I hope that we can find what we were looking for
When we were young , when we were young
