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

Ther's a tear

For all the dreams

That I left behind

They'll always be on my mind
