You And I (When We Were Young) - Strawbs

I sometimes sit and think about our evenings in the firelight

You and I when we were young

Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows that were dancing on the wall

Without a care, with time to spend

Hardly speaking for hours on end

That was you and I when we were young

Walking hand in hand beside the river at the weekends

You and I when we were young

Children with their fishing nets were laughing as they took their catches home

Caterpillars in paper bags

Knees tied up with dirty rags

That was you and I when we were young

Brushing through the fallen leaves together in the autumn

You and I when we were young

Planning for the future without knowing what it held for us at all

The road to nowhere never climbs

We changed direction a dozen times

That was you and I when we were young
