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.
