Runrig - Precious Years lyrics

It's all over now, no more summers in heaven After World War Two wed and a life of ups and downs I see it now, precious even on paper A young man and his bride and someone to make time stand still But now I know and I don't want to believe it Where does it leave you now That the precious years are gone All things remain to ignore and outlive you From the man in the moon to the green hills outside your door Alone you came so alone you must go now There's no mountain on earth can ever outlive your soul But now I know and I don't want to believe it Where does it leave you now That the precious years are gone But now I know and I don't want to believe it Where does it leave you now That the precious years are gone I know you well, you'll be nothing but grateful Never let it be said they were spent in thoughtless ways Warm winds blow 'cross the ties that bind forever For a place in the sun and for the hearts of love a home But now I know and I don't want to believe it Where does it leave you now That the precious years are gone But now I know and I don't want to believe it Where does it leave you now That the precious years are gone
