when we were young in the park

we would laugh about

all the things to do in the dark

when we were laid out

all the fears in our great big world

were nowhere in our eyes

we’d laugh and sing about the boys n girls

when we were lost in time

when did we grow old

dreams of youth someone stole

blink of an eye to behold

someone tell me I’m not old

now we have our clocks and our phones

and our plastic homes

at 4 in the morn we must be home

like before you and I were young

someone tell me you’re not old

someone tell me I’m not old

precious blood call my name

far from heaven and the day is too long

how I wish I could sing you a song

far from heaven you and I are going strong

soon the world will be going right along

precious blood find my path

far from heaven I am without you

close my eyes to disappear the moon

far from heaven dreams like this come true

you and I will be marching soon

precious blood take my hand

in a dream we are surrender

to some it seems nothing but never

but you and me dissolve together

we will be foreverly

precious blood take my hand

far from heaven promising to return

for the world has so much of us to learn

far from heaven how I hope to earn

to be with you it is finally my turn

precious blood take my hand

he is such a nice guy

but what’s that cloud around your eye

he has such a pretty face

I see he’s put you in your place

he has such a fast car

I hope he loves you in the dark

hey nice guy are you breathing

the air I left for you

hey nice guy are dealing

the sugar of this truth

he has a nice suit of silk

I see he’s on mamma’s milk

he speaks well in front of friends

what will he say in the end

you live your life on a mountain

casting stones at a dream

you should be singing

singing down to me

hey nice guy
