Anthony & Owen - Bill Ryder-Jones

We walked the shore and back again

Watching the wind bring the ships back in

And in my hand I carried a stone

I brought from back home

The place where I’m from

We were young there safe and warm

With our fires burning wildly

We took shelter from the storms

And shone torches out to sea

We’d play games and fall in love

Me and Anthony and Owen

Carved our words out on the trees

And the fences of our streets

We were young there in the dawn

With our winters soon to ride in

But just there then for a while

Things were good and safe and warm

La la la…

I’ll remember you that way

Looking back at me and smiling

Before everyone went grey

And you went and had your kid
