about

A relaxed summer groove about days gone by.

lyrics

Distant mountains in an antique land.
Girl dancing on the sand.
Held the future in your hand,
Back then when you were young

Star light shimmered on a wine dark sea.
Felt the touch of history.
Thought you knew philosophy,
Back then when you were young

Your heart restless as a wheel,
Always looking for another heart to steal

Sickle moon drifted ‘cross the sky,
Shadows made for an alibi.
You never stopped to wonder why,
Back then when you were young.

Time flies just like an arrow,
Laying waste to days gone by.
You can never call them back,
No matter how hard you try.

Your heart can’t be shamed,
Always looking for another heart to tame.

Youth was what you had to spend,
Every day like a brand new friend.
Seemed that Summer would never end,
Back then when you were young.

Your heart will never learn,
Always looking for another heart to burn.
