A song on the radio
Makes you shiver
And want to curl into a ball
Makes you want to be
Seventeen
And forget the futureâs shrinking
Life was so open then
Now itâs closing in
Life was wide open then
Now itâs closing in
One by one
Weâve watched our dreams
Disappearing
Two girls against the world
Summer nights warm and long
Sleeping all day
So many songs
The shadow cast by long ago
Puts a lump within your throat
A girl whose favourite thing is snow
Snow and being alone
The ocean between us canât
Take away the past
The ocean between us wonât
Take away the past
Thereâs a place all we shared
Shines unimpaired
Time flies
Swift as an arrow
The dagger of never trodden paths
Photographs they break my heart
Ambushed by the thought-âI donât recognize herâ
I miss you! I miss her!
Life was so open then
Now itâs closing in
Life was wide open then
Now itâs closing in
One by one
Weâve watched our dreams
Disappearing
But the ocean between us canât
Take away the past
The ocean between us wonât
Take away the past
Thereâs a place all we shared
Shines unimpaired
