How Things Were and Will Be

\nI remember when the summer was an endless round of play
\nAnd games were only finished by the dark
\nWhen growing-up and living were a million miles away
\nPast pretty girls and kissing in the park
\nWe were always in a hurry didn’t know that life was sweet
\nTill we found a world of worry when our childhoods were complete<\/p>\n
There were days of lying doggo in a field of waist high grass
\nThere were weeks of catching tiddlers in the stream
\nClimbing trees and chasing rainbows as tomorrow tried to pass
\nI remember but it seems more like a dream
\nIf we could we’d hurry back there to that land of make-believe
\nFrom this castle built on worry where we’re doomed to sit and grieve<\/p>\n
Were you ever in those playgrounds counting conkers with your friends
\nDid you tease the other children that you knew
\nIf you had the chance to go back would you try to make amends
\nOr\u00a0 continue with your misbegotten crew
\nI’m still headlong in a hurry heading somewhere I don’t know
\nTrying hard to bury worry in imaginary snow<\/p>\n
Will you meet me in those summers and with just as little care
\nWill you love me as you’ve never loved before
\nMake the future twice as golden as the memories we’ll share
\nSo I’ll never know what treasures lie in store
\nThen at last I’ll cease to hurry I’ll want every day to last
\nAnd I’ll leave all thoughts of worry in my past<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
