I WATCHED IT GO

Written by: J.R HILTON 2016 O4 15

PERFECT SUMMER MORNING, CLASSIC SUMMER DAY

NOTHING'S GOING TO GET IN THE WAY

IT WAS 1974, I FELT SO ALIVE AND READY

I LOOKED AROUND ME TO SEE IF I COULD SHARE  

TO MY SURPRISE, NO ONE WAS THERE

JUST ANOTHER SIGN THAT THIS OLD TOWN

HAS COME AND GONE, HAD IT'S DAY IN THE SUN

I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO RUN

I'D NEVER FIND IT THERE

 ***

SET OUT TO SEE THE WORLD

PUT MY FAITH IN THE OPEN ROAD

WASN'T EVEN SURE WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

SO I LOOKED SOME MORE

STOPPED ALONG THE WAY

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO BREAK MY HEART

AND STEAL ALL MY TIME

NEVER SEEN IT COMING, BUT I WATCHED IT GO

DIDN'T EVER COME BACK

FADED IN THE WESTERN GLOW

JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW 

 ***

WERE WERE ALL SO BULLETPROOF 

OUR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF US

SO WHY WERE WE IN SUCH A HURRY, SUCH A RUSH

THE DAYS THAT WE HELD DEAR

ONLY IN MEMORY, NEVER TO FORGET

IF WE'D ONLY KNOWN, THE SWEETNESS WE HELD

THEN WE JUST LET IT GO

HOW WERE WE TO KNOW

THE TREASURE WAS OUR YOUTH

THE THINGS WE DID TO PASS THE TIME

WAS INNOCENCE AT IT'S BEST

THE TIME WENT BY SO FAST

IT'S BEEN QUITE A GO

JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW

  

FROM THIS TO THAT

***

FROM THIS TO THAT

NIGHT COMING IN

A FULL MOON HANGING LOW IN THE SKY

I'M FALLING UNDER IT'S SPELL

IT ALWAYS GETS INSIDE

DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER OVER ME

THAT IT ONCE HAD

I REMEMBER WHEN IT SEEMED

THAT WE USED TO OWN THE NIGHT

WHATEVER WE DECIDED, WOULD BE ALRIGHT

THREE AM AND WE'RE ALL IN THE PARK

LIVING, LAUGHING, LEARNING IN THE DARK

DIFFERENT TIMES WERE THOSE

WE DIDN'T NEED A PHONE

WE WALKED EVERYWHERE

AND THEN WE WALKED BACK HOME

SWEET WERE THE NIGHTS

 WHEN YOU FOUND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR

JUST MADE YOU HUNGRY FOR MORE

DROPPED LIKE A STONE, WHEN THE WELL WENT DRY

ALWAYS ONE MORE TRY

FROM THIS TO THAT

YOU WERE NEVER SURE WHAT YOU WANTED

YOU JUST FELT HAUNTED

THEN YOU STRUCK OUT ON YOUR OWN

YOU HAD ENOUGH OF HOME

NEW FRIENDS, NEW TIMES

KIND OF LIKE OLD TIMES

THIS TIMES MUCH MORE SOUND

WE WERE ON SOLID GROUND

SOME OF THE BEST TIMES, I'D EVER KNOW

IT WAS SAD TO SEE THEM GO

TIME MOVES ON AND THOSE TIMES ARE GONE
