When We Were Young
When we were young
We didn’t know what we could become
What we could have been
When we were just sixteen.
The road ran on forever
Summer lasted long and dreamy
Never a thought of being old
When we were young and bold.
We met together talked and sang
Planted a twig that became a tree
No restraints we ran free
Like a picture coloured in and drawn.
When we were young
What could we have become
A singer,poet and artist we
Bosco, Souixie Sue and me.
Gathered at the Walnut Grove
Along wi Tam, Nautical Bill and Blondie Bee
Having fun singing our song
Never knowing what was to come.
Our paths were split
Each to their own way went
Thinking back to when we were young
A tune forgotten already sung.
