I remember long ago
Blowing bubbles on the Lisburn Road
How then could I know
Well I was young before I was old
I remember on the bridge
In a place they said was privileged
Watching the boats go up and down
I was attached and detached from my terrible town
And I decided to fly
Oh I decided to try
I remember long ago
Lived in a house on Whitebeam Road
The summers came as they go
I spend my life carrying granite stone
My mother, father, brother, three
Another one and that made me
I cut my shin and looked up high
Something deep told me that I
I decided to fly
Oh I decided to try
I remember long ago
I grew up in the South Seas
The horizon so far away
Now it's become a part of me
I decided to fly
I decided to try
I decided to fly
You and I decided to try
I decided to fly
You and I decided to try
