When we were young, we played here We lay about in the long grass The wind blew in from the mountain The leaves spun silver above us And now we live in a big place We run like fast cars in a lap race The wind blows clouds across the sky And I can see your ship sail by In the middle of the city I stand, I stand alone In the rythms of the city I hear your song I heard it on the wind today They said you were down in the long grass The wind blows in from the mountains And the leaves still spin silver above us In the middle of the city I stand, I stand alone In the rythms of the city I hear your song In the middle of my life I find myself without you And in the rythms of the night I think I hear your song of life
