Lyrics
Living In The Past
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Happy and I'm smiling,
Walk a mile to drink your water
You know I'd love to love you,
And above you there's no other
We'll go walking out
While others shout of war's disaster
Oh, we won't give in,
Let's go living in the past
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
What they're fighting
Let us close out eyes;
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won't give in,
We'll keep living in the past
