When i was young
I used to play
On the sand by the bay
What i've got now
I'd give it all away
Just to have some fun
Life was all
I had a ship
And sailed it to the end
Why can't i go there again
Take me back to then
When life was mellow
Where we had golden sun
Take me back, i said
I can't continue
With the world i'm in*
Playing in the park
Every afternoon
I've grown old
Far too soon
Someone please tell me why
I can't be made to see
What good's left in my life
Is this the end of me
There's a tear
For all the dreams
That i left behind
They'll always be on my mind
repeat*
