Big Country - We Could Laugh lyrics

Oh how we would run All around the table Lost in the summer sun Catching jars of fables Finding j**els in the trees While the doors were growing smaller Marking time with gifts Oh how swiftly change positions We could laugh We could laugh We could laugh I can remember I can remember Oh how we would walk Dragging days before us Locked in a waltz of keys As the jailer made his entry Picking stars from the night With a reckless indecision Save a board and dice For the rain will fall at wrong times We could laugh We could laugh We could laugh I can remember I can remember Colour cards in our eyes We could dance a thousand hours Hard without a thought That such skirts would hang so heavy In the echo of the wind We could hear the strident seagulls All forgetting the time when the gra** Would turn up so quickly We could laugh We could laugh We could laugh I can remember I can remember
