Dave Cousins - You and I (When We Were Young) lyrics

I sometimes sit and think about our evenings in the firelight You and I when we were young Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows that were dancing on the wall Without a care, with time to spend Hardly speaking for hours on end That was you and I when we were young Walking hand in hand beside the river at the weekends You and I when we were young Children with their fishing nets were laughing as they took their catches home Caterpillars in paper bags Knees tied up with dirty rags That was you and I when we were young Brushing through the fallen leaves together in the autumn You and I when we were young Planning for the future without knowing what it held for us at all The road to nowhere never climbs We changed direction a dozen times That was you and I when we were young
