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
