A song on the radio Makes you shiver And want to curl into a ball Makes you want to be Seventeen And forget the future's shrinking Life was so open then Now it's closing in Life was wide open then Now it's closing in One by one We've watched our dreams Disappearing Two girls against the world Summer nights warm and long Sleeping all day So many songs The shadow cast by long ago Puts a lump within your throat A girl whose favourite thing is snow Snow and being alone The ocean between us can't Take away the past The ocean between us won't Take away the past There's a place all we shared Shines unimpaired Time flies Swift as an arrow The dagger of never trodden paths Photographs they break my heart Ambushed by the thought-"I don't recognize her" I miss you!
