Danielle Dax - When I Was Young lyrics

When I was young The sky seemed so tall Everything shone in the happiest sunlight forever And tunnels of leaves Made specially for me Led to a magic place where I could hide for a while And hope filled the air My treasures were there When I was young The summers were long Under the beach-huts my brother and I would be playing And we would find shells To put on my sill Gathering dust as they lay unattended till Spring And hope filled the air My treasures were there La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la When I was young The wind knew my name Clouds would make castles and creatures with faces I'd dream of The sweet-scented breeze Was special to me Kept in a place near my heart where I go when I'm sad And hope filled the air My treasures were there La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
