Laggan Rhye - Years Ago


(as long as)
Thirty years ago
Remembering early days
Walking the woods,
Sliding the hill-side
Warm, cold, wet and greasy
Thinking everything is easy
Watching the sun come up,
Watch it setting at night

(as we were)
Learning to walk
Learning to talk
Learning to speak,
Learning to sleigh-ride
Looking around
Looking ahead
Watching the moon shine bright
Watch it twisting again (and again…)

Flying in the light
Flying in the dark
Flying in circles
Around, around your heart

Swimming in the lake
Swimming in the pond
Swimming in circles
Around around around around…

As we were
young and full of hope
“come drink your tea at home”
young and full of joy
“you’re a nuisance and annoy”
young and pure of heart
“put on your jacket and look smart”
growing up to be a king
just to realize you can be anything

Meaning to walk
Meaning to talk
Meaning to speak,
Meaning to stay right
Walking around
Walking ahead
Telling the moon shone bright
And I am twisting again (and again…)

Running in the field
Running in the woods
Running in circles
Around, around your heart

Sleeping in the light
Sleeping in the dark
Sleeping in circles
Around around around around…
around around around around…
around around around around…

Flying in the light
Flying in the dark
Flying in circles
Around, around your heart
Swimming in the lake
Swimming in the pond
Swimming in circles
Around around around around…
Around around around around…

Stumbling in the street
Stumbling in the house
Stumbling in circles
Around, around your heart

Falling in the hole
Falling in the well
Falling in circles
Around, around.
