lyrics

When we were seventeen and we’d go running right through the trees
and we’d go get something good to eat I liked your reason
I’d meet your family and we’d sit down for a cup of tea
maybe we’d watch something on TV oh what a season
I’d sneak into your room by the light of the silvery moon
and we would lay in your bed and spoon night after night
I’d start to tell you too soon about the way I’d been feeling since June
I’d try to put it all in a tune but it was not quite right

We’d have to say goodbye and we’d go down to the river and cry
but we’d have much bigger fish to fry when we were older
We’d have a pretty good time but we were just two separate lines
then you’d get tangled up with mine when it grew colder
I was there when you heard the news and we had to throw away your old shoes
and we would never get over these blues but there was weather
When you only thought you’d lose and you had hidden away your fuse
I told you these things will come in twos and it got better

We’re on our own now with some more wrinkles in our brow
but we would never throw in the towel there ain’t no choice
I’ll watch you wear your crown and we may start feeling a little down
but we won’t ever forget the sound of our own voice
We will be on our way though it might be some other day
and we may have nothing left to say but we’ll keep talking
Though it won’t be the same and we’ll keep having our different names
sometimes we’ll get stuck out in the rain but we’ll keep walking
